In a transition series, as the atomic number increases, paramagnetism

A

Increases gradually

B

Decreases gradually

C

First increases to a maximum and then decreases

D

First decreases to a minimum and then increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As the atomic number increases the number of unpaired electrons present in the d orbitals increases,This trend continues till Chromium. After that the electrons get paired up and the paramagnetism decreases.
