Assertion : Magnetic moment of Dy is the highest among langthanoids. Reason : Orbital motion contributes magnetic moment.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reasonb is false
If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution :The MAGNETIC moment of transition elements may be calculated from the equation :
`mu_(S+L)=sqrt(4S(S+1)+L(L+1))`
S = resultant SPIN quantum number
L = resultant orbital momentum quantum number
`mu = g sqrt(J(J+1))`
where `g=(3)/(2)+(S(S+1)-L(L+1))/(2J(J+1))`
we know, J = L - S when the shell is less than half full.
J = L + S when it is more than half full.
Electronic configuration of `Dy=[Xe]4f^(10)6s^(2)`
`Dy^(3+)=[Xe]4f^(9)`

Here S = 5/2 (since there are five unpaired electron)
`L = -1xx1+0xx1+1xx1+2xx1+3xx1=5`
So, `J =L+S=15//2`
Now, `g=(3)/(2)+(35//4-30)/(2xx(15)/(2)xx(17)/(2))=1.334`
`mu = g sqrt(J+(J+1))=10.65 BM`
Thus calculated VALUE of magnetic moment of Dy is the highest among the LANTHANOID.
