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

Solution
Magnetic moment of an electron/dipole moment is caused by its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge. It depends upon the number of unpaired electrons in its valence shell. The more the number of unpaired electrons, the greater will be the value of magnetic moment.
\[\ce{Cr^{3+} = [Ar] 3d^3 = 3 unpaired electrons}\]
\[\ce{Co^{2+} = [Ar] 3d^7 = 3 unpaired electrons}\]
But as both the ions have the same no. of unpaired electrons, there’s one other factor called orbital contribution which also influences the magnetic moment. As, the three unpaired electronic configurations is symmetrical in \[\ce{Cr^3+}\] this contributes zero orbital contribution but this is quite appreciable in case of \[\ce{Co^2+}\] and hence it has larger value of Magnetic moment than \[\ce{Cr^3+}\].

Read the passage given below and answer the following question:
The transition metals when exposed to oxygen at low and intermediate temperatures form thin, protective oxide films of up to some thousands of Angstroms in thickness. Transition metal oxides lie between the extremes of ionic and covalent binary compounds formed by elements from the left or right side of the periodic table. They range from metallic to semiconducting and deviate by both large and small degrees from stoichiometry. Since electron bonding levels are involved, the cations exist in various valence states and hence give rise to a large number of oxides. The crystal structures are often classified by considering a cubic or hexagonal close-packed lattice of one set of ions with the other set of ions filling the octahedral or tetrahedral interstices. The actual oxide structures, however, generally show departures from such regular arrays due in part to distortions caused by packing of ions of different size and to ligand field effects. These distortions depend not only on the number of d-electrons but also on the valence and the position of the transition metal in a period or group.
