2. Some d - block elements are given below: (Cr,Mn,Fe,Cos,Ni) a. Identify the element which shows maximum paramagnetic behaviour: b. Give reason for the highest paramagnetic property of that element. c. When two electrons, are Iost from each atom, is there any change:in' magnetic properties of - each. Explain?

Explanation

a. Cr (Chromium)
b. As there are six unpaired electrons in .(Cr)., it has the maximum paramagnetic behaviour,

(Cr)^(2+)=3 (~d)^(4)
dot(Min)^(2)=3 (~d)^(5)
(Fe)^(2+)=3 (~d)^(6)
