The magnetic nature of elements depends onthe presence of unpaired electrons. Identify
theconfiguration of transition elements whichshows highest magnetic moment?
- A \( 3 \mathrm{~d}^{7} \)
- B \( 3 d^{5} \)
- C \( 3 d^{8} \)
- D \( 3 d^{2} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \( 3 d^{5} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For the given electronic configurations, the spin only magnetic moment is shown below:

Therefore, \( 3 d^{5} \) configuration have highest magnetic moment.

Therefore, \( 3 d^{5} \) configuration have highest magnetic moment.
