The magnetic moment of the complex anion…

The magnetic moment of the complex anion $\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{NO})\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}$ is :
  1. $5.91 \mathrm{BM}$
  2. $3.87 \mathrm{BM}$
  3. $1.73 \mathrm{BM}$
  4. $2.82 \mathrm{BM}$

Solution

$\operatorname{In}\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{NO})\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}$, $\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\left(\mathrm{d}^4\right)$ is given as :
i.e., 2 unpaired electrons $ \mu=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}=2.82 $
