MCQ
In a transition series, as the atomic number increases, paramagnetism
- Aincreases gradually
- Bdecreases gradually
- ✓first increases to a maximum and then decreases
- Dfirst decreases to a minimum and then increases
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
first increases to a maximum and then decreases
c
For transition elements, with increase in atomic number electrons enter the empty d-orbitals. First they are singly occupied which increases paramagnetism until the point where all the d-orbitals are half-filled (point of maximum paramagnetism) and then they get paired which decreases paramagnetism. Hence, paramagnetism first increases till maximum then decreases.
