What is the calculated value of spin only magnetic moment in terms of $\mathrm{BM}$ if only one unpaired electron is present in a species?
  1. $2.76$
  2. $2.84$
  3. $2.2$
  4. $1.73$

Solution

No. of unpaired $\mathrm{e}^{-}=1$ $\mu=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)}=\sqrt{1(1+2)}=\sqrt{3}=1.73 \mathrm{BM}$
