The magnetic nature of elements depends on the presence of unpaired electrons.
Identify the configuration of a transition element which shows the highest magnetic moment:

  1. A \(3 d^7\)
  2. B \(3 d^5\)
  3. C \(3 d^8\)
  4. D \(3 d^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 d^5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3d^7\): Unpaired electrons = 3 \(3d^5\): Unpaired electrons = 5 \(3d^8\): Unpaired electrons = 2 \(3d^2\): Unpaired electrons = 2 Highest magnetic moment for \(3d^5\)
