NEET 2024, Chemistry Q31: Colour, Magnetism And Stability Of Co-ordination Compounds

NEET2024Chemistry
Q.

'Spin only' magnetic moment same for which of the following ions?

A. Ti B. Cr C. Mn D. Fe E. Sc

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A

    B and C only

  2. B

    A and D only

  3. C

    B and D only

  4. D

    A and E only

Solution

Count unpaired electrons in each configuration: Ti (, 1), Cr (, 4), Mn (, 5), Fe (, 4), Sc (, 0).

BM, so Cr and Fe both have 4 unpaired electrons and hence the same spin-only moment.
