The total spin resulting from a `d^(8)` configuration is

A

`3//2`

B

`1//2`

C

2

D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The `d^(7)` configuration is
The total spin `(S)=(n)/(2)` where n = number of unpaired electrons.
In `d^(7)` configuration, the number of unpaired electrons = 3, so total spin = 3/2.
