Why does Mn(II) ion show maximum paramagnetic character amongst bivalent ions of the elements of 3d transition series? |
|
Answer» The electronic configuration of Mn(II) ion (atomic number of Mn = 25) is [Ar] 3d5 4s0 . It has five unpaired electrons in its d-orbitals which is a maximum value among the bivalent ions of the elements of 3d transition series. As the paramagnetic character increases with increase in the number of unpaired electrons, Mn(II) ion shows maximum paramagnetic character |
