The magnetic moment of $$[Cu(NH_{3})_{4}]^{2+}$$ was found to be 1.73 B.M. The number of unpaired electrons in the complex is:

A0
B1
Correct Answer
C2
D3

Solution

Magnetic moment of a complex having n-unpaired electrons is given by: $$\sqrt{n(n+2)}$$, where $$n$$ is the number of unpaired electrons.

$$\sqrt{n(n+2)}= 1.73$$

$$\therefore$$ $$n=1$$.
