Transition and InnerTransition Elements - Result Question 5

####5. Consider the hydrated ions of Ti2+,V2+,Ti3+ and Sc3+. The correct order of their spin-only magnetic moment is

(2019 Main, 10 April I)

(a) Sc3+<Ti3+<Ti2+<V2+

(b) Sc3+<Ti3+<V2+<Ti2+

(c) Ti3+<Ti2+<Sc3+<V2+

(d) V2+<Ti2+<Ti3+<Sc3+

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. The spin only magnetic moment (μ) of each ion can be calculated as :

μ=n(n+2)BM

[n= No. of unpaired electron(s) ]μn, i.e. higher the number of unpaired electron, higher will be the value of μ.

Metal ion Z n (for metal ion) M (BM) Nature
Ti2+ 22 2(3d2) 8 Paramagnetic
V2+ 23 3(3d3) 15 Paramagnetic
Ti3+ 22 1(3d1) 3 Paramagnetic
Sc3+ 21 0(3d0) 0 Diamagnetic

Thus, the correct order of spin only magnetic moments of given hydrated ions will be

Sc3+<Ti3+<Ti2+<V2+
