The spin only magnetic moment of the complex present in Fehling's reagent is __________ B.M. (Nearest integer).
Answer (integer)
2
Solution
In the complex present in Fehling's reagent, $\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}$ ion is present.
<br/><br/>
So, spin only magnetic moment
<br/><br/>
$=\sqrt{1(1+2)}$
<br/><br/>
$$
\begin{aligned}
& =\sqrt{3} \simeq 2 \mathrm{~B} . \mathrm{M}
\end{aligned}
$$
