JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Morning Shift — Question 11

The metal ions that have the calculated spin only magnetic moment value of 4.9 B.M. are

A. Cr2+\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}

B. Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}

C. Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}

D. Co2+\mathrm{Co}^{2+}

E. Mn3+\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    B and E only

  2. Option B:

    A, B and E only

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    A, D and E only

  4. Option D:

    A, C and E only

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

μ=4.9BM\mu=4.9 \mathrm{BM}

n=4\mathrm{n}=4 for Cr2+;Fe2+;Mn3+\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} ; \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} ; \mathrm{Mn}^{3+} (where n=\mathrm{n}= unpaired electron)
