The spin only magnetic moment of Mn4+ ion is nearly

  • 3BM

  • 6BM

  • 4BM

  • 5BM


C.

4BM

The electronic configuration of Mn is

25Mn = [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn4+ = [Ar] 3d3

Thus, three unpaired electrons are present.

Spin only magnetic moment, µ=√n(n+2)

                  n = 3

                  µ =√3(3+2)

                  µ =√15 = 3.87

                  µ = 4 BM
