The 'spin only' magnetic moment value of MO4–2 is_______ BM. (Where M is a metal having least metallic radii. among Sc. Ti, V, Cr, Mn and Zn).
(Given atomic number : Sc = 21, Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Mn = 25 and Zn = 30)

| 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 B.M.
μm = 0 for CrO4–2 ion Ans. (0)
