The spin-only magnetic moment of the Hexacyanomanganate(II) ion is __________ BM.

  1. A \(5.90\)
  2. B 1.73
  3. C \(4.90\)
  4. D 3.87
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.73

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Hexacyanomanganate(II) ion is \([Mn(CN)_6]^{4-}\). Oxidation state of Mn is +2. Electronic configuration of \(Mn^{2+}\) is d\(^5\). \(CN^-\) is a strong field ligand, so it is a low-spin complex. Number of unpaired electrons, \(n = 1\). \(\mu_s = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\)…
