    The magnetic moment of \[\text{S}{{\text{c}}^{\text{3+}}}\] is :

    A)  2.76                                      

    B)  1.75

    C)  3.86                                      

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Atomic number of Sc (Scandium) is 21. Its electronic configuration is \[{{\,}_{21}}Sc=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}},4{{s}^{2}}\] \[S{{c}^{3+}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{0}},4{{s}^{0}}\] electronic configuration of \[\text{S}{{\text{c}}^{\text{3+}}}\]ion has no unpaired electron. So, it is diamagnetic in nature. Hence, its dipole moment is zero.
