  1. Find oxidation states and electronic configurations

    • For [Co(H2O)6]Cl2\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]\mathrm{Cl}_2[Co(H2​O)6​]Cl2​:

      • Water is a neutral ligand.
      • Two chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere, so the complex cation is [Co(H2O)6]2+\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]^{2+}[Co(H2​O)6​]2+.
      • Hence, oxidation state of Co is +2+2+2.
      • Co:[Ar]3d74s2\mathrm{Co} : [\mathrm{Ar}]3d^74s^2Co:[Ar]3d74s2, so Co2+:3d7\mathrm{Co}^{2+} : 3d^7Co2+:3d7.
    • For [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]\mathrm{Cl}_3[Cr(H2​O)6​]Cl3​:

      • Three chloride ions are outside, so the complex cation is [Cr(H2O)6]3+\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]^{3+}[Cr(H2​O)6​]3+.
      • Hence, oxidation state of Cr is +3+3+3.
      • Cr:[Ar]3d54s1\mathrm{Cr} : [\mathrm{Ar}]3d^54s^1Cr:[Ar]3d54s1, so Cr3+:3d3\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} : 3d^3Cr3+:3d3.
  2. Determine number of unpaired electrons

    Since H2O\mathrm{H_2O}H2​O is a weak field ligand, both complexes are high-spin octahedral.

    • Co2+\mathrm{Co}^{2+}Co2+ is d7d^7d7 in octahedral field: t2g5eg2t_{2g}^5 e_g^2t2g5​eg2​ Number of unpaired electrons, n=3n = 3n=3.

    • Cr3+\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}Cr3+ is d3d^3d3 in octahedral field: t2g3eg0t_{2g}^3 e_g^0t2g3​eg0​ Number of unpaired electrons, n=3n = 3n=3.

  3. Calculate spin-only magnetic moments

    Formula: μ=n(n+2) BM\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\, \text{BM}μ=n(n+2)​BM

    • For [Co(H2O)6]2+\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]^{2+}[Co(H2​O)6​]2+: μ=3(3+2)=15 BM\mu = \sqrt{3(3+2)} = \sqrt{15}\, \text{BM}μ=3(3+2)​=15​BM

    • For [Cr(H2O)6]3+\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6\right]^{3+}[Cr(H2​O)6​]3+: μ=3(3+2)=15 BM\mu = \sqrt{3(3+2)} = \sqrt{15}\, \text{BM}μ=3(3+2)​=15​BM

  4. Find the difference

    15−15=0\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15} = 015​−15​=0

Therefore, the required integer answer is: 0\boxed{0}0​
