Explanation
$${[Cr{(N{H_3})_6}]^{3 + }}$$
Atomic number of Cr = 24
Electron configuration of Cr = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
Electronic configuration of Cr3+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d3 4s0
NH3 is a weak field ligand. The splitting of d-orbital occur.

Number of unpaired electrons, n = 3
Magnetic moment (spin only), $${\mu _s} = \sqrt {n(n + 2)} BM$$
$$ = \sqrt {3(3 + 2)} = \sqrt {3 \times 5} = \sqrt {15} = 3.87BM$$
$${[Cu{F_6}]^{3 - }}$$ Atomic number of Cu = 29
Electronic configuration of Cu = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s1
Electronic configuration of Cu2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8 4s0
F$$-$$ is a weak field ligand, so splitting of d-orbitals occur as follows:

Number of unpaired electrons, n = 2
Spin only magnetic moment, $${\mu _s} = \sqrt {n(n + 2)} BM$$
$$ = \sqrt {2(2 + 2)} = \sqrt {2 \times 4} = 2\sqrt 2 = 2.84BM$$
Atomic number of Cr = 24
Electron configuration of Cr = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
Electronic configuration of Cr3+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d3 4s0
