Among Co3+, Ti2+, V2+ and Cr2+ ions, one if used as a reagent cannot liberate H2 from dilute mineral acid solution, its spin-only magnetic moment in gaseous state is________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Among Co3+, Ti2+, V2+ and Cr2+ ions, one if used as a reagent cannot liberate H2 from dilute mineral acid solution, its spin-only magnetic moment in gaseous state is________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Correct Answer: 5
Solution and Explanation
Co3+ will not liberate H2 gas in reaction with dilute acid
\(\frac{EºCo^{3+}}{Co^{2+}}\)=+1.97
And Co3+ has electronic configuration = [Ar] 3d6
∴ four unpaired electrons are present in it.
∴ spin only magnetic moment=\(\sqrt{4(4+2)}\)=4.92≈5

- Let \( \vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \) and \( \vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \). Let \( L_1 : \vec{r} = (-\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \lambda \vec{a}, \lambda \in {R} \) and \( L_2 : \vec{r} = (\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \mu \vec{b}, \mu \in \mathbb{R} \) be two lines. If the line \( L_3 \) passes through the point of intersection of \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \), and is parallel to \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \), then \( L_3 \) passes through the point:

Concepts Used:
D and F Block Elements
The d-block elements are placed in groups 3-12 and F-block elements with 4f and 5f orbital filled progressively. The general electronic configuration of d block elements and f- block elements are (n-1) d 1-10 ns 1-2 and (n-2) f 1-14 (n-1) d1 ns2 respectively. They are commonly known as transition elements because they exhibit multiple oxidation states because of the d-d transition which is possible by the availability of vacant d orbitals in these elements.
They have variable Oxidation States as well as are good catalysts because they provide a large surface area for the absorption of reaction. They show variable oxidation states to form intermediate with reactants easily. They are mostly lanthanoids and show lanthanoid contraction. Since differentiating electrons enter in an anti-penultimate f subshell. Therefore, these elements are also called inner transition elements.
