Question:

Identify the ion (hydrated in solution) which is not correctly matched with its spin only magnetic moment (in BM) given in brackets:

Show Hint

When dealing with transition metal ions, calculate the number of unpaired electrons based on the oxidation state to predict the expected magnetic moment.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Fe³⁺ ion should have a magnetic moment of 5.92 BM (for 5 unpaired electrons), while it is given as 4.90 BM, making this match incorrect.
