[Cr(NH3)6]3+ = Cr3+
Cr3+ = 3d3 4s0
It has 3 unpaired electrons
\(\mu = n \sqrt{n+2}\) BM
\(\mu = \sqrt[3]{3+2}\) BM
μ = 3.87 BM
[CuF6]3- = Cu+3
Cu+3 = 3d8 4s0
It has 2 unpaired electrons
μ = \(2\sqrt{2+2}\) BM
= 2.84 BM
The correct answer is option (A): 3.87 and 2.84
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
