Answer:
- Transition metals show paramagnetic behaviour.
- Paramagnetism arises due to the presence of unpaired electrons with each electron having a magnetic moment associated with its spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum.
- However, in the first transition series, the orbital angular momentum is quenched.
- Therefore, the resulting paramagnetism is only because of the unpaired electron.
