JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 4th April Evening Shift - No. 30)

A first row transition metal with highest enthalpy of atomisation, upon reaction with oxygen at high temperature forms oxides of formula $$\mathrm{M}_2 \mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{n}}$$ (where $$\mathrm{n}=3,4,5$$). The 'spin-only' magnetic moment value of the amphoteric oxide from the above oxides is _________ $$\mathrm{BM}$$ (near integer)

(Given atomic number: $$\mathrm{Sc}: 21, \mathrm{Ti}: 22, \mathrm{~V}: 23, \mathrm{Cr}: 24, \mathrm{Mn}: 25, \mathrm{Fe}: 26, \mathrm{Co}: 27, \mathrm{Ni}: 28, \mathrm{Cu}: 29, \mathrm{Zn}: 30$$)

Answer
0

Explanation

Vanadium has highest enthalpy of atomization among first row transition elements.

$$\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5$$ is amphoteric

In $$\mathrm{V}^{5+}$$ there are no unpaired electrons.

Thus, $$\mu=0$$
