The correct decreasing order of spin only magnetic moment values \((\mathrm{BM})\) of \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}, \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\) ions is which?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \gt \mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10}\), Spin only magnetic moment \(=0\) B.M. \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^9\), Spin only magnetic moment \(=\sqrt{3}\) B.M. \(\mathrm{Cr}^{+2}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^4\), Spin only magnetic moment…
