The formula for calculating 'spin only' magnetic moment is

  1. A \(n(n+2)\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{n(n-2)}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{n(n+2)}\)
  4. D \(n(n-2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{n(n+2)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The formula used to calculate the spin only magnetic moment can be written in two forms, the first based on the number of unpaired electrons \(n\) and the second based on the total electron spin quantum number \(s\). Since, for each unpaired electron, \(n=1\) and…
