Question:medium

In a borax bead test under hot condition, a metal salt (one from the given) is heated at point B of the flame, resulted in green colour salt bead. The spin-only magnetic moment value of the salt is ............. BM (Nearest integer)
[Given atomic number of Cu = 29, Ni = 28,Mn = 25, Fe = 26]

Correct Answer: 6

Solution and Explanation

A green bead signifies the presence of Fe3+, which possesses 5 unpaired electrons. The spin-only magnetic moment, calculated using the formula \( \mu = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \, \text{BM} \) with \( n = 5 \), is \( \mu = \sqrt{5(5 + 2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \, \text{BM} \). The nearest integer value is 6.
