    Transition   metals   show   paramagnetic behaviour. This is because of their

    A)  high lattice energy

    B)  variable oxidation state

    C)  characteristic configuration

    D)  unpaired electrons

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Magnetic moment, \[\mu =\sqrt{n(n+2)}BM\]where,\[n=\]number of unpaired electrons Hence, paramagnetic behaviour of transition metals is due to the presence of unpaired electrons.
