Solution
Element Sc Ti V Cr Mn Zn
Metallic radii (in pm) 164 147 135 129 137 137

Cr has least metallic radii
so given oxiamion is :CrO4–2, oxidation number of Cr = x + 4(–2) = –2; (x = +6)
So Cr+6 : 3d04s0, No. of unpaired e– = 0
so spin only magnetic moment μm=n(n+2) B.M.
μm = 0 for CrO4–2 ion Ans. (0)
