Question:
Which of the following electronic configurations would be associated with the highest magnetic moment?
Which of the following electronic configurations would be associated with the highest magnetic moment?
Updated On: Mar 21, 2025
- \([Ar] 3d^7\)
- \([Ar] 3d^8\)
- \([Ar] 3d^2\)
- \([Ar] 3d^6\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The magnetic moment μ is given by:
μ=$\sqrt{n(n + 2)}$ BM
where n is the number of unpaired electrons. Among the options, [Ar] 3d6 has the highest number of unpaired electrons (4), leading to a maximum magnetic moment.

- Assertion (A): In Rutherford’s alpha particle scattering experiment, the presence of only few alpha particles at angle of scattering \( \pi \) led him to the discovery of the nucleus.
Reason (R): The size of the nucleus is approximately \( 10^{-5} \) times the size of an atom and therefore only few alpha particles are rebounded.
