why most of the d-block elements exhibit paramagnetic character?

Transition metals show para magnetic behaviour. Para magnetism 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 para magnetism is only because of the unpaired electron.
