The magnetic moment of Fe 2 + is B . M .

The magnetic moment of Fe2+ is B.M.
  1. 3.87
  2. 0
  3. 4.9
  4. 1.73

Solution

We know

μ = nn+2

where, n is the number of unpaired electrons

The electronic configuration of Fe2+ = Ar3d64s0

According to the Aufbau's principal the unpaired electrons present in Fe2+ is 4

Thus,

μ  = 4×6 B.M.μ= 4.9 B.M.
