The calculated 'spin-only' magnetic moment of \(Ti ^{2+}\left(3 d^2\right)\) is :

  1. A 5.92 BM
  2. B 3.87 BM
  3. C 2.84 BM
  4. D 4.90 BM
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.84 BM

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) The atomic number of \(T i\) is 22 .
Electronic configuration of \(T i\) is \([ A r ] 3 d^2 4 s^2\).
Electronic configuration of \(Ti ^{2+}\) is \([ Ar ] 3 d^2\).
Number of unpaired electrons, \(n=2\).
Spin-only magnetic moment, \(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)} BM\).
\(\mu=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8} \approx (B)84 BM .\)
