Why Mn2 plus ion show maximum paramagnetic character amongst the bivalent ions of first transition series?

Manganese is a chemical element, designated by the symbol Mn. It has the atomic number 25.Paramagnetism in the transition elements is caused by the presence of unpaired electrons in the d sub-orbital, and results in these elements being attracted by a magnetic field.Thats why mn show maxium paramagnetic character among ions of first transition elements.


What are the similarities between groups 3 through 12?

These elements to transition metals. The electrons are filled in the d-orbitals. Most of the elements have unpaired electrons and hence are paramagnetic.


How would you describe the elements in groups 3-12?

Transition Metals; The general properties of the transition elements areThey are usually high melting point metals.They have several oxidation states.They usually form colored compounds.They are often paramagnetic.
