What is the value of effective magnetic moment found in \(+3\) oxidation state of Chromium \((\mathrm{Z}=24) ?\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3.87 \mathrm{BM}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{3}\) (3 unpaired electrons)
\(\therefore \mu=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)}=\sqrt{3(3+2)}=3.87 \mathrm{BM}\)
