Why does Mn (II) ion show maximum paramagnetic character amongst the bivalent ions of first transition series ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mn (II) has the electronic configuration : 1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(6)`
There are five unpaired electrons and d-subshell can have maximum of 5 unpaired electrons. Thus Mn(II) has maximum paramagnetic character.
