CBSEENCH12007027

Calculate the magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution its atomic number is 25.

Solution
Electronic configuration of Mn is 4s2 3d5 in its divalent state maganese loose electron form s orbital thus it have five unpaired electron.With  d5configuration (five unpaired electrons). The magnetic moment, p is

μ =n(n+2)Where n is unpaired electron 

μ = 5 (5+2)   = 5.92 BM.
μ = 5 (5+2)   = 5.92 BM.
