Transition Elements usually show:
Correct answer: A. Para magnetism
- A. Para magnetism
- B. Diamagnetism
- C. Ferromagnetism
- D. Both Ferromagnetism and Paramagnetism
Explanation
It is useful, at the beginning, to identify the physical and chemical properties of transition elements which differ from main group elements (s-block). Properties of transition elements include: have large charge/radius ratio; are hard and have high densities; have high melting and boiling points; form compounds which are often paramagnetic; show variable oxidation states; form coloured ions and compounds; form compounds with profound catalytic activity; form stable complexes.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
