The highest value of the calculated spin-only magnetic moment (in BM) among all the transition metal complexes is
- (A)5.92✓ Correct
- (B)6.93
- (C)3.87
- (D)4.90
Answer: (A)
Solution
Spin-only magnetic moment is BM, so it is largest when the number of unpaired electrons is largest. The most a transition-metal ion reaches is five unpaired electrons, as in high-spin ions like or . Putting gives BM.
