Identify all transition metals "M" that satisfies the requirement given:
[M(H2O)6]3+ having one unpaired electron
Ans = Ti
[M(H2O)6]3+ having one unpaired electron.
Ti = 4s2 3d2
Ti3+ = 3d1
Ti3+ has one unpaired electron.
-----------------------------------------------------
Remaining transition metals do not satisfies te given condition.
Ex:
- V = 4s2 3d3
V3+ = 3d2 2 unpaired electrons
- Cr = 4s1 3d5
Cr3+ = 3d3 3 unpaired electrons
- Mn= 4s2 3d5
Mn3+ = 3d4 4 unpaired electrons
- Fe = 4s2 3d6
Fe3+ = 3d5 5 unpaired electrons
- Co = 4s2 3d7
Co3+ = 3d6 4 unpaired electrons
