Choose the correct matching of transition metal ion and magnetic moment from the codes given below. (Atomic number : Ti=22,V=23,Fe=26)
Transition element | Magnetic moment (BM) |
(A) Titanium (III) | (1) 4.9 |
(B) Vanadium (II) | (2) 1.73 |
(C) Iron (II) | (3) 3.87 |
∵ Magnetic moment (μ)=√n(n+2) BM where, n= number of unpaired electrons
(A) Titanium (III)→3d1, has one unpaired electron
∴μ=√1(1+2)=√3=1.73BM
(B) Vanadium (II)→3d3, has 3 unpaired electrons.
∴μ=√3(3+2)=√15=3.87BM
(C) Iron (II)→3d6, has 4 unpaired electrons.
∴μ=√4(4+2)=√24
μ=4.90BM
Therefore,
(A)→(2);(B)→(3);(C)→(1)
