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.
