Solution
A magnetic moment is a quantity that represents the magnetic strength and orientation of a magnet or any other object that produces a magnetic field. More precisely, a magnetic moment refers to a magnetic dipole moment, the component of the magnetic moment that can be represented by a magnetic dipole. The greater the number of unpaired electrons, the higher will be the magnetic moment.
Magnetic moment=n(n+2)
No. of. unpaired e− Spin only Magnetic moment 3d7315BM3d828BM3d3315BM3d6424BM
Hence, the answer is option D.
