Chapter 23: Problem 11

The magnetic moment, \(\mathrm{m}\), is given by a formula in which \(\mathrm{n}\) is the number of unpaired electrons (a) \(\mu=n \times(n+2)\) (b) \(\mu=\sqrt{n \times(n+1)}\) (c) \(\mu \cdot \sqrt{n \times(n+2)}\) (d) \(\mu=n \times(n+1)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer is option (b): \( \mu = \sqrt{n \times (n+2)} \).

Step by step solution

01

Recall the formula for the magnetic moment

The magnetic moment, \( \mu \), is given by a formula in terms of the number of unpaired electrons, \( n \). This formula is \( \mu = \sqrt{n \times (n+2)} \).
02

Compare the formula with the given options

Each option given in the exercise should be compared with the correct formula. By doing so, it is clear that the correct answer is option (b), which exactly matches the formula for the magnetic moment: \( \mu = \sqrt{n \times (n+2)} \). The other options do not correspond to the correct formula.
