what is the magnetic moment of Cr atom in its ground stage

Answers

Answered by siril

In its ground state, The electronic configuration of Chromium is 4s¹ 3d⁵.

So, the d-orbital has 5 unpaired electrons.

Magnetic moment = √(n)(n+2)
= √(5)(5+2)
= √(5x7)
= √(35)
= 5.91 Bohr magneton

sauravos26: its root under 48

siril: ya....sorry my bad....i'll edit the answer in a second.....i totally forgot about the unpaired electron in 4s sub shell'

siril: yes it is under root 48, sorry for it .....i cannot find the edit link.
