Question

The spin-only magnetic moment value of the compound with strongest oxidizing ability among  and  is  B.M (nearest integer)

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Identify the strongest oxidising agent

Higher oxidation state of Mn → stronger oxidising agent:

| Compound | Mn O.S. | Oxidising strength |
|----------|---------|--------------------|
|  | +4 | Strongest |
|  | +3 | Moderate |
|  | +2 | Weakest |

(Mn in +4) is the strongest oxidising agent.

Step 2: Magnetic moment of

: Mn (Z=25) = 
: remove  + 2 from  →

Hmm — nearest integer = 4. But answer key gives 5.

Re-checking: If strongest oxidiser =  with Mn(+4), , .
