What is the spin-only magnetic moment value \((BM)\) of a divalent metal ion with atomic number \(25,\) in it's aqueous solution ?

  1. A \(5.92\)
  2. B \(5.0\)
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D \(5.26\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5.92\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electronic configuration of divalent metal ion having atomic number \(25\) is Total number of unpaired electrons \(=5\) \(\mu\) (Magnetic moment) \(=\sqrt{ n ( n +2)} BM\) where \(n =\) number of unpaired \(e ^{-}\) \(\therefore \mu=\sqrt{5(5+2)}=\sqrt{35} BM =5.92 BM\)
