- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The magnetic nature of an ion depends on the presence of unpaired electrons. Ions with at least one unpaired electron are paramagnetic, while those with all paired electrons are diamagnetic. Let us write the electronic configurations of the given ions:…
