Question

Calculate the total number of unpaired electrons in acoordination compound with magnetic moment of 5.92 B.M.

Open in App

Solution

A coordination compound with magnetic moment of 5.92 B.M contains 5 unpaired electrons.
$μ = \sqrt{n (n + 2)} = 5.92$
$n (n + 2) = (5.92)^{2} = 35$
Hence, $n = 5$ .
