The calculated spin only magnetic moments of CrNH363+ and CuF63- in BM, respectively, are (Atomic numbers of Cr and Cu are 24 and 29, respectively)
  1. 3.87 and 2.84
  2. 4.90 and 1.73
  3. 3.87 and 1.73
  4. 4.90 and 2.84

Solution

Spin only magnetic moment can be calculated using the formula μ=n n+2 B.M

n= number of unpaired electron at central atom.

CrNH363+ : Cr3+ is the central metal ion.

Cr3+ : 3d3 configuration

 It has three unpaired electrons.

μ=33+2 BM=3.87 BM

CuF63 : Cu3+ is the central metal ion.

Cu3+ : 3d8 configuration

Fluorine is the weak field ligand. Its electronic configuration is t2g6 eg2. Hence, it has two unpaired electrons.

μ=22+2 BM=2.84BM
