Although Cr^(3+) and Co^(2+) ions have same number of unpaired electrons but the magnetic moment of Cr^(3+) is 3.87 B.M. and that of Co^(2+) is 4.87 B.M. Why ?

Transition metals and many of their compounds show paramagnetic behaviour where there are unpaired electron or electrons. The magnetic moment arises from the spin and orbital motions in ions or molecule. Magnetic moment of n unpaired electrons is given as mu=sqrt(n(n+2)) Bohr magneton Magnetic moment increases as the number of unpaired electrons increases. Q. Magnetic moment of [Ni(CN)_4]^(2-) is zero but that of [Ni(H_2O)_4]^(2+) is 2.83BM . is because of :

A compound in which a metal ion \(M^{x+}\)(Z=25) has a spin only magnetic moment of \(\sqrt{24}\)BM.The number of unpaired electrons in the compound and the oxidation state of the metal ion are respectively.
