CSIR NET Chemical Sciences 2024–2025 PYQs with Detailed Solutions (Part 2)
h1 style="text-align: center;"> CSIR NET Chemical Sciences 2024–2025 PYQs with Detailed Solutions (Part 2) The magnetic moment (spin-only) of a d³ ion is: (CSIR NET Chemical Sciences – June 2024) d³ அயனின் spin-only காந்தத் திருப்புத்திறன் (magnetic moment) என்ன? A) 1.73 BM B) 2.83 BM C) 3.87 BM D) 4.90 BM Answer: ✅ C) 3.87 BM Detailed Solution: For a d³ ion, the number of unpaired electrons (n) is 3. Spin-only magnetic moment is given by μ = √[n(n+2)] BM. Therefore, μ = √[3(3+2)] = √15 = 3.87 BM. Hence, the correct answer is C. Which of the following has the highest electronegativity? (CSIR NET Chemical Sciences – December 2024) பின்வருவனவற்றில் அதிக மின்எதிர்மறைத்தன்மை (electronegativity) உடையது எது? A) Oxygen B) Nitrogen C) Fluorine D) Chlorine Answer: ✅ C) Fluorine Detailed Solution: Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table with a Pauling value of 3.98. Therefore, fluo...
