How to calculate the spin only moment for a transition element?

Accepted Answer

The spin-only magnetic moment for a transition element can be calculated using the following formula:
μ = √n(n+2) BM
Where:

μ is the spin-only magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons (BM)
n is the number of unpaired electrons
For example, a transition metal ion with 3 unpaired electrons would have a spin-only magnetic moment of √15 BM.
