STANDARD Chemistry Spin-Only Magnetic Moment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

The magnetic moment is associated with its spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. Spin only magnetic moment value of Cr³⁺ ion is

A

2.87 B.M.

B

3.87 B.M.

C

3.47 B.M.

D

3.57 B.M.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Cr³⁺ has a 3d³ configuration. The spin-only magnetic moment is calculated using the formula μ = √n(n+2), where n is the number of unpaired electrons. For Cr³⁺, n = 3, so μ = √15 = 3.87 B.M.
