JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 10th April Morning Slot - No. 17)

Consider the hydrated ions of Ti2+, V2+, Ti3+, and Sc3+. The correct order of their spin-only magnetic moments is :
Sc3+ < Ti3+ < V2+ < Ti2+
Sc3+ < Ti3+ < Ti2+ < V2+
Ti3+ < Ti2+ < Sc3+ < V2+
V2+ < Ti2+ < Ti3+ < Sc3+

Explanation

As we know that

$$\mu = \sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)} $$ where n = no. of unpaired electrons i.e. greater the no. of unpaired electron more will be the spin-only magnetic moments.

. Electronic configuration of the given transition metal ions are

Sc3+ (Z = 21) = 1s22s22p63s23p6

$$ \therefore $$ n = 0

Ti2+ (Z = 22) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d2

$$ \therefore $$ n = 2

Ti3+ (Z = 22) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d1

$$ \therefore $$ n = 1

V2+ (Z = 23) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d3

$$ \therefore $$ n = 3

So the correct increasing order of magnetic moment is

Sc3+ < Ti3+ < Ti2+ < V2+
