    The transition metal ion that has spin-only magnetic moment value of 5.96 is

    A) \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]                               

    B)  \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]

    C) \[{{V}^{2+}}\]                                   

    D)  \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Magnetic moment \[(\mu )=\sqrt{N(N+2)}\] where N = Number of unpaired electron. The electronic configuration of\[M{{n}^{2+}}\]is \[[Ar]\text{ }3{{d}^{5}}\]. It contains 5 unpaired electron. Hence, \[\mu =\sqrt{5(5+2)}\] \[\mu =\sqrt{35}=5.96\text{ }B.M\].
