Correct answer: B. Attracted by the magnet
- A. Always diamagnetic
- B. Attracted by the magnet
- C. Not attracted by the magnet
- D. Repelled by the magnet

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.
