Which of the following elements in their respective oxidation states does not develop spin only magnetic moment?
\(\text { [Ti }(\mathrm{Z}=22), \mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{Z}=30), \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{Z}=23),\) \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{Z}=29)]\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{V}^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Spin only magnetic moment \(=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)}\) \(\mathrm{n}=\) no. of unpaired electrons \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10}\)

\(\mathrm{n}=0\)
Spin only magnetic moment \(=0\)
