As we learnt in 

Calculation of spin only magnetic moment -

\mu =\sqrt{n(n+2)}

\mu =magnetic\:moment\:in(BM)

where n = no. of unpaired electron 

n=1......5(no.\:of\:unpaired\:e^{-})

- wherein

V^{2+}\rightarrow3d^{3}=\sqrt{3(3+2)}

=\sqrt{15}

=3.87\:\:\:BM

3+.9\rightarrow 3.9(BM)

 

 \mu = \sqrt{ n\left ( n+2 \right )}

\mu = magnetic\:\: moment

n = Number of unpaired electrons

Therefore, maximum unpaired electrons give highest magnetic moment.

3dhas 5 unpaired electrons, higher than any other species.
