Q.

The spin-only magnetic moment value of Mn+ -ion formed among Ni, Zn, Mn and Cu that has the least enthalpy of atomisation is ______. (in nearest integer)

Here n is equal to the number of diamagnetic complexes among K2[NiCl4], [Zn(H2O)6]Cl2, K3[Mn(CN)6] and [Cu(PPh3)3I]          [2025]

Zinc has least enthalpy of atomization in 3d series. So M is Zn.

K2[NiCl4]

[Zn(H2O)6]Cl2

K3[Mn(CN)6]

[Cu(PPh3)3I]

There are two diamagnetic complexes, so n = 2. 
Thus the ion is Zn2+. It has zero unpaired electrons, so μ = 0.
