How many of the following metal ions have similar value of spin only magnetic moment in gaseous state?…

How many of the following metal ions have similar value of spin only magnetic moment in gaseous state? ________

(Given: Atomic number:V,23; Cr,24; Fe,26; Ni,28)

V3+, Cr3+, Fe2+, Ni3+

Solution

From magnetic moment formula:
μs=n(n+2)BM  (n= no. of unpaired electrons )

Ion           E.C.            n
V3+:[Ar]3 d24 s0   2

Cr3+:[Ar]3 d34 s0  3

Fe2+:[Ar]3 d64 s0  4

Ni3+:[Ar]3 d74 s0   3

Thus, Cr3+&Ni3+ have same value of μs
