    The magnetic moment of the ground state of an atom whose open sub-shell is half-filled with five electrons is:

    A)  \[\sqrt{35}\sqrt{{{\mu }_{B}}}\]      

    B)  \[35{{\mu }_{B}}\]

    C)  \[35\sqrt{{{\mu }_{B}}}\]        

    D)  \[{{\mu }_{B}}\sqrt{35}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The magnetic moment of the ground state of an atom is \[\mu =\sqrt{5(5+2)}.{{\mu }_{B}}\] \[={{\mu }_{B}}\sqrt{35}\] Where \[{{\mu }_{B}}\] is gyromagnetic moment. Here, open sub-shell is half-filled with 5 electrons. i.e.,  \[n=5\] \[\therefore \] \[\mu =\sqrt{5(5+2)}.{{\mu }_{B}}\] \[{{\mu }_{B}}\sqrt{35}\]
