                                             No. of unpaired e^{-}

\left [ Cr\left ( H_{2}O \right ) _{6}\right ]^{2+}                    4

\left [ Mn\left ( H_{2}O \right ) _{6}\right ]^{2+}                  5

\left [ Fe\left ( H_{2}O \right ) _{6}\right ]^{2+}                    4

\left [ Co\left ( H_{2}O \right ) _{6}\right ]^{2+}                    3

 

\left [ Co\left ( H_{2}O \right ) _{6}\right ]^{2+} have a minimum number of unpaired electrons, and exhibit minimum paramagnetic behaviour.
