Although Cr^{3+} and Co^{2+} ions have the same number of unpaired electrons the magnetic moment of Cr^{3+} is 3.87 B.M. and that of Co^{2+} is 4.87 B.M. Why?

Answers (1)

Unlike  Cr^{3+}, Co^{2+} has a symmetrical electronic configuration, due to which the magnetic moment is higher for Cobalt ion.
