Explain why Cu(I) is diamagnetic while Cu(II) is paramagnetic in nature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of Cu (Z = 29), `Cu^(+), Cu^(2+)` as follows:
Cu(Z=29) : `[Ar]^(18)" "3d^(10)" "4s^(1)`

Cu (I) is diamagnetic because it has `3d^(10)` configuration and therefore is not unpaired electron on the other hand Cu(II) has `3d^9` configuration and there is unpaired electron. So Cu (II) is Paramagnetic in nature.
