Why does Mn(II) shows maximum paramagnetic
character among the divalent ions of first transition series ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electronic configuration of Mn (II) is `[Ar]3d^5 4s^0` .

Mn (II) shows maximum paramagnetic character among the bivalent ions of first transition series because it has maximum number of unpaired electrons.
