‘Spin only’ magnetic moment is same for which of the following ions? (A) Ti³⁺ (B) Cr²⁺ (C) Mn²⁺ (D) Fe²⁺ (E) Sc³⁺Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the 'spin only' magnetic moment for each of the given ions.The 'spin only' magnetic moment is given by the formula:where is the number of unpaired electrons and is the Bohr magneton.Let's determine the number of unpaired electrons for each ion:• Ti Titanium has an atomic number of 22. The electronic configuration is Ar Therefore, Ti has 1 unpaired electron.• Cr Chromium has an atomic number of 24. The electronic configuration is Ar Therefore, Cr has 4 unpaired electrons.• Mn Manganese has an atomic number of 25. The electronic configuration is Ar Therefore, Mn has 5 unpaired electrons.• Fe Iron has an atomic number of 26. The electronic configuration is Ar Therefore, Fe has 4 unpaired electrons.• Sc Scandium has an atomic number of 21. The electronic configuration is Ar Therefore, Sc has 0 unpaired electrons.Now, calculate the magnetic moment for ions with unpaired electrons:• For Cr and Fe (both have 4 unpaired electrons):• For Ti• For Mn• For ScThe ions with the same 'spin only' magnetic moment are Cr and FeTherefore, the correct option is Option 3: B and D only.
