Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.73

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{Z}=29):[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10} 4 \mathrm{~s}^1 \)
\( \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^9 \)
\( \text { No. of unpaired } \mathrm{e}^{-}=1 \)
\( \mu=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)}=\sqrt{1(1+2)}=\)\(\sqrt{3}=1.73 \mathrm{BM}\)
