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.

In an aqueous medium, all alkali metal cations are converted into their hydrated form. More intensely positive cations have more hydration, and hence the size of the cation increases after hydration. Therefore, the Li? cation has a larger size in hydrated form and the least conductivity. The order of conductivity of alkali metal ions is: Li? < Na? < K? < Rb? < Cs?

Due to the larger size of the Cl-atom, the addition of an electron in the outermost orbit produces less electronic repulsion with respect to the F-atom. The following are the electron gain enthalpies in (KJ) of halogens:
F → -328, Cl → -349, Br → -325, I → -295

This describes a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Aryl halides are very less reactive toward this reaction, so the reaction takes place at a high temperature, i.e., 623K, and high pressure of 300 atm.
