Question
Amongst the following ions, which one has the highest magnetic moment value?
Options
[Cr(H2O)6]3+
[Fe(H2O)6]2+
[Zn(H2O)6]2+
Solution
[Fe(H2O)6]2+
Explanation:
[Fe(H2O)6]2+ has the highest magnetic moment because Cr3+ has 3 unpaired electrons, whereas Fe2+ has four unpaired electrons and Zn2+ has 0 unpaired electrons.
