Paramagnetism is a property due to the presence of unpaired electrons. In case of transition metals, as they contain unpaired contain unpaired electrons in the `(n-1)` d orbitals , most of the transition metal ions and their compounds are paramagnetic . Paramagnetism increases with increases in number of unpaired electrons. Magnetic moment is calculated from spin only formula
`mu=sqrt(n(n+2)) B.M n="number of unpaired electrons"`
Similarly the colour of the compounds of transition metals may be attributed to the presence of incomplete `(n-1)` d sub-shell. When an electron from a lower energy of d-orbitals is excited to a higher energy d-orbital, the energy of excitation corresponds to the frequency of light absorbed. This frequency generally lies in the visible region. The colour observed corresponds to complementary colour of the light observed. The frequency of the light absorbed is determined by the nature of the ligand.

Correct Answer - C
`mu=1.73` i.e. one unpaired electron, Ti (E.C.)=`[Ar]^18 3d^2 , 4s^2`, so it will lose three electrons to have one unpaired electron and thus the oxidation state of titanium is +3.

Transition metals of 3d-series donot react readily with dilute acids to leberate hydrogen although they have high negative reduction potential values.

These are expected to liberate hydrogen from dilute acids due to therir reducing nature as indicated by `E^(@)` values. But most of them react very slowly because of the formation...

Choose the correct matching of transition metal with magnetic moment give: `{:(,"Transition Metal","Magnetic moment(B.M)"),(,(A)"Titanium (III)",(1) 4

Correct Answer - A `mu=sqrt(n(n+2))`,(n=no. of unpaired electrons) (a) `mu=sqrt(n(n+2))`, (n= no. of unpaired electrons ) `Ti^(3+) to [Ar]3d^(1),mu=sqrt(1(1+2))=sqrt(3)=1.73 BM` `V^(2+) to [Ar]3d^(3),mu=sqrt(3(3+2))=sqrt(15)=3.87 BM` `Fe^(2+) to [Ar]3d^(4),mu=sqrt(4(4+2))=sqrt(24)=4.89 BM`

Electrons in a sample of H-atoms make transition from state n=x to some lower excited state. The emission spectrum from the sample is found to contain

Correct Answer - x=8 We have `DeltaE=3/4xx0.85eV` as energy=0.6375 the photon will belong to brackett series (as for brackett`0.31leEle0.85`) `0.85xx(1-1/4)=13.6(1/4^2-1/n^2)` `0.85(1-1/4)=13.6/16[1/(4/n)^2] :. 4/n=1/2 implies n=8` Hence x=8
