    Identify the order in which the spin only magnetic moment (in BM) increases for the following four ions
    I. \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]
    II. \[T{{i}^{2+}}\]
    III. \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]
    IV. \[{{V}^{2+}}\]

    A)  I. II, IV, III

    B)  IV, 1. II, III -

    C)  III. IV, I, II

    D)  lll, II, IV, I

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Magnetic moment \[(\mu )\] is given as \[\mu =\sqrt{n\,(n+2)}\] where, n is number of unpaired electrons. \[F{{e}^{2+}}:\,[Ar]3{{d}^{6}};\] number of unpaired electrons = 4 \[T{{i}^{2+}}:\,[Ar]3{{d}^{2}};\] number of unpaired electrons = 2 \[C{{u}^{2+}}:\,[Ar]3{{d}^{9}};\] number of unpaired electrons = 1 \[{{V}^{2+}}:\,[Ar]3{{d}^{3}};\] number of unpaired electrons = 3 Hence, the increasing order of magnetic moment is as \[C{{u}^{2+}}<T{{i}^{2+}}<{{V}^{2+}}<F{{e}^{2+}}\]
