The magnetic moment of [Ni(Cl)(4)]^(2-) ...

The magnetic moment of `[Ni(Cl)_(4)]^(2-)` is

A

2.85BM

B

1.83BM

C

4.86BM

D

5.95BM

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Cl^(-)` is weak field ligand so reaarangement of electron is not possible. Hence `Ni^(+2)` ion contains two unpaired electrons.

Spin only magnetic moment of [PtCl_4]^(2-) is

Transition metals and many of their compounds show paramagnetic behaviour where there are unpaired electron or electrons. The magnetic moment arises from the spin and orbital motions in ions or molecule. Magnetic moment of n unpaired electrons is given as mu=sqrt(n(n+2)) Bohr magneton Magnetic moment increases as the number of unpaired electrons increases. Q.
