the highest magnetic moment for transition metal exists for
As we learnt in
Calculation of spin only magnetic moment -
where n = no. of unpaired electron
- wherein
n = Number of unpaired electrons
Therefore, maximum unpaired electrons give highest magnetic moment.
3d5 has 5 unpaired electrons, higher than any other species.
