The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements (A) and (R) regarding the diamagnetism of the ion \( \text{Cu}^+ \) and the configuration of ions with \( d^{10} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electronic Configuration of Copper**: - The atomic number of copper (Cu) is 29. Its ground state electronic configuration is: \[ \text{Cu}: [\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} 4s^1 \] 2. **Determine the Configuration of \( \text{Cu}^+ \)**: - When copper loses one electron to form \( \text{Cu}^+ \), the electron is removed from the 4s orbital: \[ \text{Cu}^+: [\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} \] - This means \( \text{Cu}^+ \) has a \( d^{10} \) configuration. 3. **Check for Unpaired Electrons**: - In the \( 3d^{10} \) configuration, all 10 electrons are paired. Therefore, there are no unpaired electrons in \( \text{Cu}^+ \). 4. **Determine Diamagnetism**: - A species is considered diamagnetic if it has no unpaired electrons. Since \( \text{Cu}^+ \) has no unpaired electrons, it is indeed diamagnetic. 5. **Analyze Statement (R)**: - The statement (R) claims that ions with a \( d^{10} \) configuration are diamagnetic. This is true because any ion with a fully filled d-subshell (10 electrons) will have all electrons paired, leading to diamagnetism. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements (A) and (R) are true, and (R) correctly explains (A), we conclude that: - Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.** ---
