The correct order of the spin-only magnetic moment of metal ions in the following low-spin complexes,

[V(CN)6]4-, [Fe(CN)6]4-, [Ru(NH3)6 ]3+, and [Cr(NH3)6]2+ is:
1. Cr2+ > Ru3+ > Fe2+ > V2+
2. V2+ > Cr2+ > Ru3+ > Fe2+
3. V2+ > Ru3+ > Cr2+ > Fe2+
4. Cr2+ > V2+ > Ru3+ > Fe2+

Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : V2+ > Cr2+ > Ru3+ > Fe2+

Concept:

The spin magnetic moment is directly proportional to the number of unpaired electrons.

The number of unpaired electrons for [V(CN)6]4- is 3

The number of unpaired electrons for [Fe(CN)6]4- is 0

The number of unpaired electrons for [Ru(NH3)6]3+ is 1

The number of unpaired electrons for [Cr(NH3)6]2+ is 2

The correct order of the spin-only magnetic moment of metal ions is:

V2+ > Cr2+ > Ru3+ > Fe2+
