  1. A \(3.87 \mathrm{BM}\)
  2. B \(4.90 \mathrm{BM}\)
  3. C \(2.84 \mathrm{BM}\)
  4. D \(1.73 \mathrm{BM}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.90 \mathrm{BM}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^4 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=4\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Spin-only magnetic moment,
\(\begin{aligned}
\mu & =\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)} \mathrm{BM} \\
& =\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24} \mathrm{BM} \\
& =4.90 \mathrm{BM}
\end{aligned}\)
