Among $\mathrm{CrO}, \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ and $\mathrm{CrO}_3$, the sum of spin-only magnetic moment values of basic and amphoteric oxides is $\_\_\_\_$ $10^{-2} \mathrm{BM}$ (nearest integer).
(Given atomic number of Cr is 24 )

Solution
CrO Basic oxide
$\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ Amphoteric oxide
In $\mathrm{CrO}, \mathrm{Cr}$ exist as $\mathrm{Cr}^{+2}$ and have $\mu$ only $=4.90$
In $\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Cr}$ exist as $\mathrm{Cr}^{+3}$ and have $\mu$ only $=3.87$
Sum of spin only magnetic moment
$
\begin{aligned}
& =4.90+3.87=8.77 \\
& \mu_{\text {only }}=877 \times 10^{-2}
\end{aligned}
