Answer 1

$C{o}^{3+}=\left[Ar\right]3d^6$ , unpaired $e^{-}\left(n\right)=4$

Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24}BM$

$C{r}^{3+}=\left[Ar\right]3d^3$ , unpaired $e^{-}\left(n\right)=3$

Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{3(3+2)}=\sqrt{15}BM$

$F{e}^{3+}=\left[Ar\right]3d^5$ , unpaired $e^{-}\left(n\right)=5$

Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{5(5+2)}=\sqrt{35}BM$

$N{i}^{2+}=\left[Ar\right]3d^8$ , unpaired $e^{-}\left(n\right)=2$

Spin magnetic moment
$=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}BM$
Option (a) is correct match
