Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Considering that $\Delta$0 > P, the magnetic moment
(in BM) of [Ru(H2O)6]2+ would be _________.

Answer (integer) 0

Solution

Ru(44) : [Kr] 4d<sup>7</sup>5s<sup>1</sup> <br><br>Ru<sup>+2</sup> = [Kr]4d<sup>6</sup> <br><br>As $\Delta$<sub>0</sub> &gt; P, <br><br>$\therefore$ Pairing of e<sup>–</sup>s will take place. <br><br>No. of unpaired e<sup>–</sup>s = 0 <br><br>$\therefore$ Magnetic moment = 0 B.M
