Not actually a science question...?
"Find the bohr magneton of a Fe atom", does this sentence means equally to "find the magnetic moment of a Fe atom" ?
I just want to see if this is a sentence with grammatical error...

I suppose the (minor) grammatical error consists in their using the singular version of "magneton" rather than the plural "magnetons" or conceivably "magneta". But there's also a sort of semantic error: one wouldn't say "find the kilometers of the road" if one meant "find the length." Anyway, I agree that what is meant is that you are supposed to find the magnetic moment.

It appears you are right and it is not a grammatical error:
"The Bohr magneton (symbol μB) is a physical constant and the natural unit for expressing an electron magnetic dipole moment"
