Q.

The 'Spin only' Magnetic moment for [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is ________ ×10-1 BM (given = Atomic number of Ni : 28)             [2024]


Ans.

(28)

      [Ni(NH3)6]2+

      Oxidation number of Ni = +2

      Ni2+:[Ar]183d8

      Irrespective of strength of ligand, 3d8 configuration after octahedral splitting becomes t2g2,2,2eg1,1. It has two unpaired electrons (n)

      Spin only magnetic moment,

      μ=n(n+2)BM=2(2+2)BM=2.83BM

                                                                       =28.3×10-1BM
