'Spin only' magnetic moment is same for which of the following ions? \(A\). \(\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\)   \(B\). \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\)   \(C\). \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\)   \(D\).\(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\)  \(E\). \(\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}\) Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  1. A \(A\) and \(E\) only
  2. B \(B\) and \(C\) only
  3. C \(A\) and \(D\) only
  4. D \(B\) and \(D\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(B\) and \(D\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

lons No. of unpaired electrons Configuration
\( \mathrm{Ti}^{3+} \) \(1\) \(3 d^1\)
\( \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \) \(4\) \(3 d^4\)
\( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \) \(5\) \(3 d^5\)
\( \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \) \(4\) \(3 d^6\)
\( \mathrm{Sc}^{3+}\) \(0\) \(3 d^0\)
Spin only magnetic moment is given by \(\sqrt{n(n+2)} \mathrm{BM}\) \(\therefore \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) will have same spin only magnetic moment.
