Consider the following statements.
Statement 
ion shows magnetic moment corresponding to two unpaired electrons.
Statement II 
is paramagnetic in nature.
choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Statement II is true.
According to VBT, molecular orbital electronic configuration of 
in 
is
Hybridisation 
, Number of unpaired electrons 
Hence, correct form of Statement I is :
ion shows magnetic moment corresponding to one unpaired electron.
i.e. 
Thus, Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
