Solution
The correct option is B√4s(s+1)+l(l+1) For 2nd row and 3rd row transition metal ions the magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons is calculated by the formula √4s(s+1)+l(l+1). It has contributions from spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. Orbital motion of the electron generates orbital magnetic moment and spin motion of the electron generates spin magnetic moment.
