Question
Transition elements show magnetic moment due to spin and orbital motion of electrons. Which of the following metallic ions have almost same spin only magnetic moment?
(i) \[\ce{Co^{2+}}\]
(ii) \[\ce{Cr^{2+}}\]
(iii) \[\ce{Mn^{2+}}\]
(iv) \[\ce{Cr^{3+}}\]
Solution
(i) \[\ce{Co^{2+}}\]
(iv) \[\ce{Cr^{3+}}\]
Explanation:
The magnetic moment of an electron/dipole moment is caused by its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge. It depends upon the number of unpaired electrons in its valence shell. The more the number of unpaired electrons, the greater will be the value of the magnetic moment.
