The spin only magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution (atomic number 29) is _________ BM.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Z = 29 [Cu] ⟶−2e− Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Evening Shift Chemistry - Coordination Compounds Question 180 English Explanation

Number of unpaired electron, n = 1

∴\therefore Spin only magnetic moment,

μ=n(n+2)BM=1(1+2)BM=3BM\mu = \sqrt {n(n + 2)} BM = \sqrt {1(1 + 2)} BM = \sqrt 3 BM

= 1.73 BM ≃\simeq 2 BM
