Why $Z n^{2 +}$ is diamagnetic whereas $M n^{2 +}$ is paaramagnetic?

Open in App

Solution

$Z n^{2 +}$ is diamagnetic as it has all paired electrons. The valence shell electronic configuration of $Z n^{2 +}$ is $3 d^{10}$ .
$M n^{2 +}$ is paaramagnetic due to presence of five unpaired electrons. The valence shell electronic configuration of $M n^{2 +}$ is $3 d^{5}$ .
