Question

Mn4+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic

Answer 1

Answer:

Parmagnetic

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of mn4+ is

[Ar] 3d5 4s2

Now in ground state it's electronic configuration will be [Ar] 3d3 which is paramagnetic

Answer 2

Answer:

Mn4+ is paramagnetic in nature.

Explanation:

In order to find out the Magnetic nature of Mn4+ we will have to take a look at its Electronic configuration. As we can see that Mn4+ suggests that it has lost 4 electrons, hence the 4 positive charge.

The electronic configuration of Mn is [Ar] 3d⁵4s². Now when we look at Mn4+ we understand that it has lost 4 electron that means the electronic configuration for Mn4+ is [Ar]3d³.

Now, from the electronic configuration of Mn4+ it is evident that the 3d orbital only has 3 electrons and therefore has unpaired electrons. The presence of unpaired electron in an element or compound means they are paramagnetic in nature. Hence Mn4+ is paramagnetic in nature.
