Transition metals show paramagnetism

A

high lattice energy

B

variable oxidation statel

C

characteristic configuration

D

unpaired electrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Magnetic moment, `m= sqrt(n(n+2))`BM
where, n=number of unpaired electrons
Hence, paramagnetic behaviour of transition metals is due to the presence of unpaired electrons.
