Chemistry Question on Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom
Magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution of an element with atomic number 25 is:
A
2.84 BM
B
3.87 BM
C
4.90 BM
D
5.92 BM
Answer
5.92 BM
Explanation
Solution
The atomic number 25 corresponds to the element Manganese (Mn).
The magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution of Mn with atomic number 25 is typically around 5.92 Bohr magnetons (BM).
Therefore, the correct option is (D): 5.92 BM.
