Question

The magnetic moment $\mu$, of transition metals is related to the number of unpaired electrons, n as:

• A. $\mu =n(n+2{)}^2$
• B. $\mu =n^2(n+2)$
• C. $\mu =\frac{n}{(n+2)}$
• D. $\mu =\sqrt{n(n+2)}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\mu =\sqrt{n(n+2)}$

Magnetic moment is
$\mu =\sqrt{n(n+2)}$ where n is no of unpaired electron.
