Question

Magnetic moment of $F e^{3 +}$ ions $\sqrt{35}$ BM. Determine number of unpaired electrons.

Open in App

Solution

Magnetic moment $= \sqrt{n (n + 2)}$
where $n$ is no. of electrons.
$\sqrt{35} = \sqrt{n (n + 2)}$
$⟹ n = 5$ unpaired electrons.

The substances which contain species with unpaired electrons in
their orbitals behave as paramagnetic substances. Such substances
are weakly attracted by the magnetic field. The paramagnetism is
expressed in terms of magnetic moment. The magnetic moment is
related to the number of unpaired electrons according to the
following relation:
