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.
