Which one of the following shows highest magnetic moment?
Fe2+
Co2+
Cr3+
Ni2+
A.
Fe2+
The paramagnetism or magnetic moment produced due to spin of electrons or unpaired electrons is expressed in terms of Bohr magneton (BM) or μB and given by
Magnetic moment (μ) =√[n(n+2)]BM
where n is the number of unpaired electron, in species. Thus, greater is the number of unpaired electron is an ion greater is its paramagnetic nature.
| Ion | electronic configuration | No. of unpaired e- s |
| Cr3+ | d3 | 3 |
| Fe2+ | d6 | 4 |
| Co2+ | d7 | 3 |
| Ni2+ | d8 | 2 |
As Fe2+ ion has maximum number of unpaired electrons, thus it has highest magnetic moment.
In chromite ore, the oxidation number of iron, and chromium are respectively

increases gradually
decreases gradually
first increases to a maximum and then decreases
first decreases to a minimum and then increases
