    A) \[VC{{l}_{2}}\]                                  

    B) \[VC{{l}_{4}}\]

    C) \[VC{{l}_{3}}\]                                  

    D) \[VC{{l}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\mu =\sqrt{n\left( n+2 \right)}\]           \[1.73=\sqrt{n\left( n+2 \right)}\] On calculating the value of n we find m = 1 No. of unpaired electrons = 1 hence its configuration will be \[V(23)=[Ar]3{{d}^{3}}4{{s}^{2}}\] \[{{V}^{2+}}=[Ar]3{{d}^{1}}4{{s}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]Its chloride has the formula \[VC{{l}_{2}}\]
