The calculated magnetic moment using the 'spin only' formula \(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\) for \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) respectively is

  1. A \(3.87,4.89\)
  2. B Both 4.89
  3. C Both 3.87
  4. D \(4.89,3.87\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both 4.89

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Cr²⁺: Cr: [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s¹ Cr²⁺: [Ar] 3d⁴ \(n = 4\) \(\mu = \sqrt{4(4+2)} = \sqrt{4 \times 6} = \sqrt{24} = 4.89\) For Fe²⁺: Fe: [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s² Fe²⁺: [Ar] 3d⁶ \(n = 4\) \(\mu = \sqrt{4(4+2)} = \sqrt{4 \times 6} = \sqrt{24} = 4.89\)
