Which of the following metal ions has a calculated magnetic moment value of \(\sqrt{24}\) \(\mathrm{BM}\) ?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Co}^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, magnetic moment \((\mu)\) is related to number of unpaired electron ' \(n\) ', as \(\mu_{\mathrm{eff}}=\sqrt{n(n+2)} \mathrm{BM}\) \[ \mu_{\text {eff }}=\sqrt{24} \mathrm{BM} \] This corresponds, \(n=4\) as \(\mu_{\mathrm{eff}}=\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24}\)…
