Q27 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

The spin-only magnetic moment value of the compound with strongest oxidizing ability among MnF4,MnF3 and MnF2 is_____ B.M (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, MnF3 has the strongest oxidizing ability as it undergoes reduction readily.

Spin only magnetic moment is calculated using the following formula

μ=nn+2B.M

μ=44+2=24=4.89=5 B.M

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
