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

1. 2.87 BM 2. 3.87 BM
3. 3.47 BM 4. 3.57 BM
NEETprep Answer: 
The magnetic momentis associated with its spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum.
Spin only magnetic momentvalue of Cr3+ ion is 3d3
Hence, magnetic moment (μ) = n(n+2)BM
     = 3(3+2) = 15
      = 3.87BM
