The magnetic nature of elements depends ...

The magnetic nature of elements depends on the presence of unpaired electrons. Identify the configuration of the element, which shown highest magnetic moment -

A

`3d^(7)`

B

`3d^(5)`

C

`3d^(8)`

D

`3d^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The species having `3d^(5)` configuration in high spin complexes has maximum number of unpaired electrons (i.e., 5 electrons), which will show highest magnetic moment.
