Correct answer: 2
- Identify the element from atomic number
Atomic number corresponds to copper, Cu.
- Write the electronic configuration of the neutral atom
For copper:
- Find the configuration of the divalent ion
A divalent ion is . Electrons are removed first from , then from :
- Consider aqueous solution
In aqueous solution, forms hydrated complexes, but for magnetic moment we need the number of unpaired electrons in .
For , the number of unpaired electrons is:
- Use spin-only magnetic moment formula
Substitute :
- Integer answer
Since the question is of integer type, the value is taken as nearest integer:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
Our derived integer answer also is , so they agree.
