Account for the following :
(b) Cuprous chloride is diamagnetic while cupric chloride is paramagnetic.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To account for why cuprous chloride (CuCl) is diamagnetic while cupric chloride (CuCl2) is paramagnetic, we need to analyze the oxidation states of copper in both compounds and their corresponding electronic configurations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the compounds and their formulas.** - Cuprous chloride is represented as CuCl. - Cupric chloride is represented as CuCl2. ...
