The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

$Ni^{2+}=\left[Ar\right]3d^{8}$ Number of unpaired electrons = 2 Hence, magnetic moment =$\sqrt{n \left(n+2\right)}$ $=\sqrt{8}=2.84$

Approach Solution -2

Ans. The strength and direction of a magnet or any other item that generates a magnetic field are referred to as the magnetic moment. It may alternatively be described as an object's magnetic dipole moment. The magnetic dipole moment may be used to gauge a magnetic dipole's propensity to line up with the surrounding magnetic field. Examples of things with magnetic moments include permanent magnets, electromagnets, certain molecules, electrons, and celestial bodies like planets and stars. When it comes to electrons, their innate features of spin and electric charge are what create the magnetic moment. 

A vector quantity is a magnetic moment. A magnet's magnetic moment travels from its south pole to its north pole. A magnet creates a magnetic field that is directly proportional to the magnetic moment.

A substance that may repel or attract other substances is referred to as a "magnetic material." The arrangement of electrons, also known as the magnetic moment of the material, determines whether these materials are attracted to or repel one another. The magnetic dipole moment of an object is a measure of the torque experienced by it in the presence of a magnetic field. 

The magnetic moment can be generated by two ways:

Bohr's Model of Hydrogen Atom

Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr's Theory of Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen-like Atoms

A hydrogen-like atom consists of a tiny positively-charged nucleus and an electron revolving around the nucleus in a stable circular orbit. 

Bohr's Radius: 

If 'e,' 'm,' and 'v' be the charge, mass, and velocity of the electron respectively, 'r' be the radius of the orbit, and Z be the atomic number, the equation for the radii of the permitted orbits is given by r = n2 xr1, where 'n' is the principal quantum number, and r1 is the least allowed radius for a hydrogen atom, known as Bohr's radius having a value of 0.53 Å. 

Limitations of the Bohr Model

The Bohr Model was an important step in the development of atomic theory. However, it has several limitations.

  1. Bohr’s model of the atom failed to explain the Zeeman Effect (effect of magnetic field on the spectra of atoms).
  2. It failed to explain the Stark effect (effect of electric field on the spectra of atoms).
  3. The spectra obtained from larger atoms weren’t explained.
  4. It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
