Question

Explain with reason that d-block element from colour compound and show paramagnetic properties?

Answer 1

Paramagnetic materials have a small, positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed.

Answer 2

Paramagnetism arises due to the presence of unpaired (n-1)d electrons. (ii)Transition elements have high effective nuclear charge and a large number of valence electrons.Therefore, they form very strong metallic bonds. As a result, the enthalpy of atomization of transition metals is high.
