Z = 29 [Cu] $$\buildrel { - 2{e^ - }} \over \longrightarrow $$ Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Evening Shift Chemistry - Coordination Compounds Question 180 English Explanation

Number of unpaired electron, n = 1

$$\therefore$$ Spin only magnetic moment,

$$\mu = \sqrt {n(n + 2)} BM = \sqrt {1(1 + 2)} BM = \sqrt 3 BM$$

= 1.73 BM $$ \simeq $$ 2 BM
