Calculate the spin only magnetic moment ...

Calculate the spin only magnetic moment for `Ce^(3+)` ion. [Atomic number of Ce = 58]

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`58^(Ce)=[Xe]4f^(1)5d^(1)6s^(2) rarr Ce^(3+)=[Xe]4f^(1)5d^(0)6s^(0)`
Magnetic momnet `mu=sqrt(n(n+2))`
(here n=1,n = number of unpaired electrons )
`mu=sqrt(1(1+2))` =1.73 BM
