Question

Chloro compound of vanadium has only spin magnetic moment of 1.73 BM. This vanadium chloride has the formula :- (at no. of V=23)
A. `VCl_(2)`
B. `VCl_(3)`
C. `VCl_(4)`
D. `VCl_(5)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - c
`""_(23)V to [Ar]3d^(3)4s^(2) `
`v ^(4+) to [Ar] 3d^(1)`
`(n+1)`
` mu_(m)=sqrt(n(n+2))=sqrt(3)=1.73`
`V^(+4)xxCl^(-)implies VCl_(4)`
