Which out of V(IV) and V(V) is paramagnetic and why?
Vanadium has its electronic configuration as [Ar] 3d3 4s2.
In case of V (v) has no unpaired electron.
In case of V(iv) has one unpaired electron 3d1, Hence V(iv) is paramagnetic.
Why is electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4 not correct for ground state of Cr (24)?
