JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jun · Shift 1, Chemistry question 86

The spin-only magnetic moment value of the most basic oxide of vanadium among V2O3\mathrm{V_2O_3}, V2O4\mathrm{V_2O_4} and V2O5\mathrm{V_2O_5} is ______ B.M. (Nearest integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 3

Most basic oxide is the one with the lowest oxidation state: V2O3\mathrm{V_2O_3}, with V3+\mathrm{V^{3+}} (d2d^2).

Moment. 2(2+2)=8≈2.83≈3\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt8\approx2.83\approx3 BM.

Answer: 3
