The correct decreasing order of spin only magnetic moment values (BM) of Cu+, Cu2+, Cr2+ and Cr3+ ions is :

  1. Cr3+ > Cr2+ > Cu+ > Cu2+
  2. Cu+ > Cu2+ > Cr3+ > Cr2+
  3. Cr2+ > Cr3+ > Cu2+ > Cu+
  4. Cu2+ > Cu+ > Cr2+ > Cr3+

Answer

(3) Cr2+ > Cr3+ > Cu2+ > Cu+

Solution

= n(n+2) BM

Cr2+: 3d4, n = 4 = 24 = 4.90 BM

Cr3+: 3d3, n = 3 = 15 = 3.87 BM

Cu2+: 3d9, n = 1 = 3 = 1.73 BM

Cu+: 3d10, n = 0 = 0

Cr2+ > Cr3+ > Cu2+ > Cu+

Answer: (3)
