Q27 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry
The spin-only magnetic moment value of the compound with strongest oxidizing ability among and is_____ (nearest integer)
Correct answer: 5
Solution
The change from Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in the half-filled (d5 ) configuration which has extra stability.So, MnF3 has most oxidising tendency.
Hence, has the strongest oxidizing ability as it undergoes reduction readily.
Spin only magnetic moment is calculated using the following formula
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
