Can you explain the answer of this question below:Which one of the following is a diamagnetic ion?- A:CO2+
- B:Cu2+
- C:Mn2+
- D:Sc3+
The answer is d.
Which one of the following is a diamagnetic ion?
A:
CO2+
B:
Cu2+
C:
Mn2+
D:
Sc3+
|
Learners Habitat answered |
Co+2 = [Ar] 3d7
Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9
Mn+2 = [Ar] 3d5
Sc+3 = [Ar]
We can see that only Sc+3 has no unpaired electron, so it is a diamagnetic ion.
Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9
Mn+2 = [Ar] 3d5
Sc+3 = [Ar]
We can see that only Sc+3 has no unpaired electron, so it is a diamagnetic ion.

Om Desai answered |
ilver in the form of Ag+ is colourless. For transition metal ions to exhibit color, their metal ions must have incompletely filled (n-1)d orbitals.
Ag+ =4d10,5s0
Ag+ has completely filled d orbitals hence is colourless.

Shail Chawla answered |
La stands for Lanthanum, which is a member of the lanthanide series of elements in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 57 and an electronic configuration of [Xe]5d1 6s2.
Achieving Noble Gas Configuration
To achieve a noble gas configuration, an element must have its outermost shell filled with electrons. The noble gases are stable because they have a filled outermost shell. Lanthanum can achieve this configuration by losing three electrons from its outermost shell.
Oxidation States
The oxidation state of an element is the charge that it carries when it forms a compound or ion. Lanthanum can form compounds in various oxidation states, including +2, +3, and +4.
In order to determine in which oxidation state La achieves noble gas configuration, we need to look at its electron configuration and determine how many electrons it needs to lose to achieve a filled outermost shell.
La3+ (Oxidation State of +3)
When Lanthanum loses three electrons, it forms a +3 ion (La3+). In this oxidation state, La has a noble gas configuration of [Xe]. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Other Oxidation States
Lanthanum can also form compounds in other oxidation states, but they do not achieve a noble gas configuration. For example, in the +2 oxidation state, La has an electron configuration of [Xe]5d1, which is not a filled outermost shell.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Lanthanum achieves noble gas configuration in the +3 oxidation state by losing three electrons and forming a La3+ ion.

D-block elements
The long form periodic table consists of four blocks: s, p, d, and f. The s and p blocks are located on the left and right sides of the periodic table, respectively. The d-block elements are located in the middle of the periodic table, between the s and p blocks. These elements are also known as transition elements.
Explanation:
The d-block elements are characterized by the presence of partially filled d-orbitals in their valence shells. These elements are often referred to as transition elements because they exhibit a transition between the highly reactive s-block elements and the relatively inert p-block elements. The d-block elements are known for their unique chemical and physical properties, such as their ability to form complex ions and their high melting and boiling points.
Examples of d-block elements include titanium, iron, copper, and zinc. These elements are widely used in industry and technology due to their unique properties, such as their strength, durability, and conductivity.
In summary, the elements which lie between s and p block elements in the long form periodic table are called d-block elements or transition elements. These elements exhibit unique chemical and physical properties and are widely used in industry and technology.

The melting and boiling points first increase, reaches maximum and then steadily decrease across any transition series. ... The low melting points of Zn, Cd, and Hg are due to the absence of unpaired d-electrons in their atoms and thus low metallic bonding.

Hansa Sharma answered |
The correct answer is option C
In Electrolytic refining, the impure metal is made to act as an anode. A strip of the same metal in pure form is used as a cathode.
They are put in a suitable electrolytic bath containing a soluble salt of the same metal.
The more basic metal remains in the solution and the less basic ones go to the anode mud.
Copper is refined using an electrolytic method.
Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold, and platinum; recovery of these elements may meet the cost of refining.

Losing one electron gives Sc noble gas configuration (Ar). While Zn has d10 s2 configuration so it won't give its electron easily. So, it has high ionization enthalpy.

Maheshwar Saini answered |
The transition metals and their compounds are used as catalysts. Because of the variable oxidation states, due to this, they easily absorb and re-emit wide range of energy to provide the necessary activation energy.

Saikat Dey answered |
You simply count the electron number, though , co is present just after fe, so from this logic you count the electron number is same in fe2+ and co3+,(just think) simultaneously v2+, cr3+ electron number is same, in mathematical, fe 2+ electron number is 26-2=24,, and co 3+,electron number is 27-3=24,so simultaneously v2+, and cr 3+ has same number of electron,

Actinoid Contraction and Lanthanoid Contraction
Actinoid contraction and lanthanoid contraction are terms used to describe the decrease in atomic and ionic radii of the elements in the actinide and lanthanide series, respectively.
Actinoid Contraction
- Actinoid contraction refers to the decrease in atomic and ionic radii of the elements in the actinide series.
- It is caused by the imperfect shielding of the 5f electrons by the 6s and 6p electrons.
- The 5f electrons are located closer to the nucleus and experience a greater effective nuclear charge, which leads to a smaller atomic and ionic radius.
- Actinoid contraction is observed in the actinide series from thorium (Z=90) to lawrencium (Z=103).
Lanthanoid Contraction
- Lanthanoid contraction refers to the decrease in atomic and ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series.
- It is caused by the imperfect shielding of the 4f electrons by the 5s, 5p, and 6s electrons.
- The 4f electrons are located closer to the nucleus and experience a greater effective nuclear charge, which leads to a smaller atomic and ionic radius.
- Lanthanoid contraction is observed in the lanthanide series from cerium (Z=58) to lutetium (Z=71).
Comparison of Actinoid Contraction and Lanthanoid Contraction
- Actinoid contraction is greater than lanthanoid contraction.
- The 5f electrons in the actinide series experience a greater effective nuclear charge than the 4f electrons in the lanthanide series, which leads to a greater decrease in atomic and ionic radii.
- Actinoid contraction is also observed over a smaller range of elements than lanthanoid contraction.
