A magnetic moment of 1.73 BM will be shown by one among the following

  • [Cu(NH3)4]2+

  • [Ni(CN)4]2-

  • TiCl4

  • [CoCl6]4-

Solution

A.

[Cu(NH3)4]2+

Magneitc space moment comma space straight mu space is space related space with space number space of space unpaired space electrons space as
straight mu space equals space square root of straight n left parenthesis straight n plus 2 right parenthesis end root space BM
left parenthesis 1.73 right parenthesis to the power of 2 space end exponent equals straight n left parenthesis straight n plus 2 right parenthesis
On space solving space straight n equals 1
Thus comma space the space complex divided by compound space having space one space unpaired space electron
exhibit space straight a space magnetic space moment space of space 1.73 space BM

straight a right parenthesis space In space left square bracket Cu left parenthesis NH subscript 3 right parenthesis subscript 4 right square bracket to the power of 2 plus end exponent
Cu to the power of 2 plus end exponent space equals space left square bracket Ar right square bracket 3 straight d to the power of 9

straight b right parenthesis space In space left square bracket Ni left parenthesis CN right parenthesis subscript 4 right square bracket to the power of 2 minus end exponent
Ni to the power of 2 plus end exponent space equals space left square bracket Ar right square bracket 3 straight d to the power of 8

straight c right parenthesis space In space left square bracket TiCl subscript 4 right square bracket
Ti to the power of 4 plus end exponent space equals space left square bracket Ar right square bracket 3 straight d to the power of 0

straight d right parenthesis space In space left square bracket CoCl subscript 6 right square bracket to the power of 4 minus end exponent
Co to the power of 2 plus end exponent space equals space left square bracket Ar right square bracket 3 straight d to the power of 7

In space above space all space configuration space only space space left square bracket Cu left parenthesis NH subscript 3 right parenthesis subscript 4 right square bracket to the power of 2 plus end exponent has space one space unpaired space electron.
