Question

The magnetic nature of elements depends on the presence of unpaired electrons identify the configuration of transition element, which shows highest magnetic moment.

• A. $3d^{7}$
• B. $3d^{5}$
• C. $3d^{8}$
• D. $3d^{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$3d^{5}$

Answer 2

The transition element having $3d^{5}$configuration shows highest magnetic moment as it contains maximum unpaired electrons.
