The highest magnetic moment is shown by the transition metal ion with the configuration

A

`3d^(2)`

B

`3d^(5)`

C

`3d^(7)`

D

`3d^(9)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Magnetic moment `= sqrt(n(n+2))BM`
where n = number of unpaired electrons.
Since `3d^(5)` has maximum number of unpaired electrons, its mgnetic moment will be highest.
