JEE Main 2025 — 2 April, Evening Shift — Question 21

The spin-only magnetic moment value of Mn+\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{n+}} ion formed among Ni,Zn,Mn\mathrm{Ni}, \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Mn} and Cu that has the least

enthalpy of atomisation is _____\_\_\_\_\_ . (in nearest integer) Here nn is equal to the number of diamagnetic complexes

among K2[NiCl4]\mathrm{K}_{2}\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right], [Zn(H2O)6]Cl2, K3[Mn(CN)6]\left[\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{~K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right] and [Cu(PPh3)3I]\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{PPh}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{I}\right]

Answer: 0

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

K2[NiCl4]⇒Ni2+⇒3 d8⇒sp3⇒\mathrm{K}_{2}\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right] \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}^{2+} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{8} \Rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^{3} \Rightarrow Paramagnetic

[Zn(H2O)6]Cl2⇒Zn2+⇒3 d10⇒\left[\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10} \Rightarrow diamagnetic

K3[Mn(CN)6]⇒Mn3+⇒3 d4⇒\mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right] \Rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{3+} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{4} \Rightarrow paramagnetic

[Cu(PPh3)I)⇒Cu+1⇒3 d10⇒\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{PPh}_{3}\right) \mathrm{I}\right) \Rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{+1} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10} \Rightarrow diamagnetic

n=2\mathrm{n}=2

Zn has least enthalpy of atomisation

Zn2+⇒μ=0\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} \Rightarrow \mu=0
