Which among the following is/are correct about chromium?
a)its electronic configuration is 3d54s1
b)tot. spin of Cr. =3
c)spin multiplicity of 3-d -subshell ofCr
d) magntic moment of Cr = 481/2
Hi,
The correct options are a, b and d
Explanation : a) Electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar] 3d5 4s1
b) Total spin : d-sub shell contains five orbitals each of them are occupied by a single electron having a half (1/2) spin and s orbital contain 1 electron. So total spin = 5 (1/2) + 1 (1/2)
Total spin = 3
d) Magnetic moment =
n is number of unpaired electron.
n = 6 for chromium.
Magnetic moment of chromium is 48(1/2)
Regards
