    Which of the following ions has the highest magnetic moment?

    A)  \[T{{i}^{3+}}\]                                  

    B)         \[S{{c}^{3+}}\]                 

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

    D)         \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The electronic configuration or given ions are: \[T{{i}^{3+}}(19)=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}}\] \[S{{c}^{3+}}(18)=[Ar]\] \[M{{n}^{2+}}(23)=[Ar]\,3{{d}^{5}}\] \[Z{{n}^{2+}}(28)=[Ar]\,3{{d}^{10}}\] As, \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]has maximum number of unpaired electrons (5), hence, it shows maximum magnetic moment.
