Some d-block elements are given below.(Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni)(a) Identify the element which shows maximum paramagnetic behaviour.(b) Give reason for the highest paramagnetic property of that element.(c) When two electrons are lost from each atom, is there any change in magnetic properties of each ? Explain?

Answer»

(a) Cr

(b) Cr- 4s1 3d5
Mn – 4s2 3d5 .
Fe – 4s2 3d6
Co – 4s2 3d7
Ni – 4s2 3d8 

Since there are six unpaired electrons in Cr, it has the maximum paramagnetic behaviour.
(c) Cr2+ →3d4
Mn2+ → 3d5
Fe2+ → 3d6
CO2+ → 3d7
Ni2+ → 3d8 

when two electrons are lost, Mn2+ contains maximum number of unpaired electrons ie., Mn2+ is the ion with maximum paramagnetic behaviour. Cr2+ and Fe2+ show similar paramagnetism and so on.
