The spin only magnetic moment equation cannot be used to calculate the magnetic moment for second and third row transition metals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spin only magnetic moment equation only applies to atoms with a maximum of one unpaired electron, which is not the case for second and third row transition metals. A more sophisticated approach, such as molecular orbital theory or crystal field theory, is required to calculate their magnetic moments.
