CBSEENCH12011460

Match the metal ions given in Column I with the spin magnetic moments of the ions given in Column II and assign the correct code :

Column I Column II
a. Co3+ i. 8 BM
b. Cr3+ ii. 35 BM
c. Fe3+ iii. 3 BM
d. Ni2+ iv. 24 BM
    v. 15 BM

  • a b c d
    iv v ii i
  • a b c d
    i ii iii iv
  • a b c d
    iii v i ii
  • a b c d
    iv i ii iii

Solution

A.

a b c d
iv v ii i

Co3+ = [Ar] 3d6, Unpaired e(n) = 4
Spin magnetic moment 4(4+2) = 24 BM

Cr3+ = [Ar] 3d3, Unpaired e(n) = 3
Spin magnetic moment = 3(3+2) = 15 BM

Fe3+ = [Ar] 3d5, Unpaired e–(n) = 5
Spin magnetic moment =5(5+2) = 35 BM

Ni2+ = [Ar] 3d8, Unpaired e(n) = 2
Spin magnetic moment = 2(2+2) = 8 BM
