The greater stability of Cu²? (aq) rather than Cu? (aq) is due to the much more negative ΔhydH of Cu²? (aq) than Cu? , which more than compensates for the second ionisation enthalpy of Cu.

A divalent metal ion with an atomic number (Z) of 25 is Mn²?
Mn²? (Z=25) has the electronic configuration: 3d? 4s? (n=5, five unpaired electrons).
The magnetic moment (μ) is calculated as: μ = √ [n (n+2)] = √ [5 (5+2)] = √35 = 5.92 BM.

Gd: [Xe]4f?5d¹6s²
∴ Gd³? is [Xe]4f?
Also μ = √n (n + 2) B.M
= √7x9 B.M = 7.9 B.M
