Many transition metals are paramagnetic. Why?


Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum 
also always transition metals have unpaired d-electron.
