Magnetic moment 2.83 BM is given by which of the following ions? (At. nos. Ti = 22, Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Ni = 28)

  1. Ti3+
  2. Ni2+
  3. Cr3+
  4. Mn2+

Answer

(2) Ni2+

Solution

= n(n+2) BM

2.83 = 8 = 2(2+2) ⇒ n = 2 unpaired electrons

Ti3+: 3d1 ⇒ n = 1

Ni2+: 3d8 ⇒ n = 2

Cr3+: 3d3 ⇒ n = 3

Mn2+: 3d5 ⇒ n = 5

∴ Ni2+ has = 2.83 BM.

Sc (Z = 21) is a transition element but Zn (Z = 30) is not because

  1. both Sc3+ and Zn2+ ions are colourless and form white compounds.
  2. in case of Sc, 3d orbitals are partially filled but in Zn these are filled.
  3. last electron is assumed to be added to 4s level in case of Zn.
  4. both Sc and Zn do not exhibit variable oxidation states.

  2. their unfilled d-orbitals
  3. their ability to adopt variable oxidation states
  4. their chemical reactivity

Which one of the following does not correctly represent the correct order of the property indicated against it?

  1. Ti < V < Cr < Mn : increasing number of oxidation states
  2. Ti3+ < V3+ < Cr3+ < Mn3+ : increasing magnetic moment
  3. Ti < V < Cr < Mn : increasing melting points
