In a transition series, with increase in atomic-number, the paramagnetism
increases gradually
decreases gradually
first increases to a maximum and then decreases
first decreases to a minimum and then increases
C.
first increases to a maximum and then decreases
The paramagnetism of transition elements of a given series increases on moving left to rght in a period and attain a maximum value and after that, it goes on decreasing towards the end of period. This is due to the fact that the magnetic moment or paramagnetism is directly related to the number of half-filled d-orbitals. In the beginning, the number of unpaired electrons in d-orb1tals increases till the middle of the period (d1 to d5). After this, the pairing of electrons occurs in d-orbitals (d6 to d10).
Thus, in a given transition senes, with increases in atomic-number, the paramagnetism first increases
to a maximum and then decreases.
Mercury is a liquid metal because
it has a completely filled s orbital
it has a small atomic size
it has a completely filled d orbital that prevents d-d overlapping of orbitals
it has a completely filled d orbital that causes d-d overlapping
