MCQ
Transition metals show paramagnetism due to:
- ACharacteristic configuration.
- BHigh lattice energy.
- CVariable oxidation states.
- ✓Unpaired electrons.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Unpaired electrons.
Magnetic moment is $\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}$ where n is no of unpaired electron so transition metals show paramagnetism due to unpaired electron.
