Ncert Exercises & Solutions

The magnetic nature of elements depends on the presence of unpaired electrons. Identify the configuration of the transition element, which shows the highest magnetic moment.

1.	$3 d^{7}$	2.	$3 d^{5}$
3.	$3 d^{8}$	4.	$3 d^{2}$

The greater the number of the unpaired electrons, the higher will be its value of the magnetic moment. Since 3

d^{5}

has 5 unpaired electrons hence the highest magnetic moment.

μ = \sqrt{5 (5 + 2)}

= \sqrt{35}

= 5.95 B M
