Question:

Which of the following has magnetic moment value of 5.9?

Options:

Fe2+

Fe3+

Mg2+

Zn2+

Correct Answer:

Fe3+

Explanation:

Fe3+ has a magnetic a magnetic moment value of 5.9.

26Fe : [Ar]4s23d6

Fe3+ : [Ar]3d5

Magnetic moment, u = \(\sqrt {n(n+2)}\)

u = \(\sqrt {5(5+2)}\) = \(\sqrt {35}\) = 5.9
