Question

1. Which out of Co+2 and Co+3 will have higher magnetic moment and
why?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Co

+2

contains 3d

7

electrons in the outermost orbit. As it is showing the square planar geometry, the electronic configuration will be d

xy

1

. Hence the number of unpaired electrons (n) will be 1. By substituting this value in the formula of magnetic moment μ=

n(n+2)

. μ will be 1.73 B.M.
