Detailed Solution

Magnetic moment depends upon number of unpaired electrons and can be calculated as

μ=nn+2B.M,

Where n is no. of unpaired electrons.

                                Valence electron                   Unpaired electron

K                                            1                                                   1

Mg                                         2                                                   0

N                                            3                                                   3

o                                             4                                                   2
