Mn(II) shows maximum paramagnetic character amongst the divalent ions of the first transition series. Discuss.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The configuration of Mn(II) ion : `[Ar]`
Since all the 3d orbitals are half-filled in Mn(II), it is maximum paramagnetic among the divalent ions of first transition series of elements.
