The spin only magnetic moment ( ) value (B.M.) of the compound with the strongest oxidising power among Mn2O3, TiO and VO is B.M. (Nearest integer).

Answer

5

Solution

Oxidation states of the metals:

Mn2O3: Mn3+ (3d4); TiO: Ti2+ (3d2); VO: V2+ (3d3)

Ti2+ and V2+ are strong reducing agents (E Ti3+/Ti2+ = -0.37 V, E V3+/V2+ = -0.26 V), whereas Mn3+ is a strong oxidising agent (E Mn3+/Mn2+ = +1.57 V) because Mn2+ (3d5) is extra stable.

Mn2O3 has the strongest oxidising power.

Mn3+ (3d4): number of unpaired electrons n = 4

= n(n+2) = 4 6 = 24 = 4.90 B.M. 5 B.M.
