Which of the following statements regarding the magnetic properties and electronic configurations of transition metal ions is correct?
- A.The ion has a configuration and is diamagnetic.
- B.The ion has a configuration and is diamagnetic.
- C.The ion has a configuration and is diamagnetic.
- D.The ion has a configuration and is paramagnetic.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B — The ion has a configuration and is diamagnetic.
Solution
- The electronic configuration of is .
- The ion is formed by losing the electron, resulting in .
- Since all electrons are paired in the configuration, the ion is diamagnetic.
- Hence the answer is (B).
