Identify the metal ions among Co 2+, Ni 2+, Fe 2+, V 3+ and Ti 2+ having a spin-only magnetic momentJEE Mains Chemistry Past Papers Chemistry Question

Question

Identify the metal ions among Co 2+, Ni 2+, Fe 2+, V 3+ and Ti 2+ having a spin-only magnetic moment value more than 3.0 BM. The sum of unpaired electrons present in the high spin octahedral complexes formed by those metal ions is ________.

Answer: .

💡 Solution & Explanation

V 3+ = (Ar)18 3d Ti 2+ = (Ar)18 3d Ni 2+ = (Ar)18 3d Fe 2+ = (Ar)18 3d Co 2+ = (Ar)18 3d Only for Fe 2+ and Co 2+ µ is more than 3.0 B.M. Fe 2+ 3d n = 4, Co 2+ 3d n = 3,  > 3  > 3  Number of unpaired electrons = 4 + 3 = 7
