    Which of the following species is expected to show the highest magnetic moment? (At. Nos.: Cr=24, Mn = 25, Co = 27, Ni = 28, Cu = 29) [Kerala PMT 2004]

    A) \[C{{r}^{2+}}\]

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

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

    D) \[C{{o}^{2+}}\]

    E) \[N{{i}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Highest magnetic moment depends upon number of unpaired electron since \[C{{r}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{4}}4{{s}^{0}}\], \[M{{n}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{0}}\] \[C{{u}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{9}}4{{s}^{0}}\], \[C{{o}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{7}}4{{s}^{0}}\], \[N{{i}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{0}}\]   So \[M{{n}^{2+}}\] contain maximum number of unpaired electron i.e. 5.
