Answer:
Correct Answer: 36.(a)
Solution:
(a) $Co^{3+}=[Ar] 3 d^{6}$, unpaired $e^{-}(n)=4$
Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24}$ B.M.
$Cr^{3+}=[Ar] 3 d^{3}$, unpaired $e^{-}(n)=3$
Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{3(3+2)}=\sqrt{15}$ B.M.
$Fe^{3+}=[Ar] 3 d^{5}$, unpaired $e^{-}(n)=5$
Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{5(5+2)}=\sqrt{35}$ B.M.
$Ni^{2+}=[Ar] 3 d^{8}$, unpaired $e^{-}(n)=2$
Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}$ B.M.
