Q. The type of magnetism exhibited by $\left\lbrack Mn\left( H_{2}O \right\rbrack^{2 +} \right\rbrack$ ion is
A) Paramagnetism
B) Diamagnetism
C) Both (a) and (b)
D) None of these
Explanation
(a)
In presence of $H_{2}O$ which is a weak ligand no pairing occurs which results in unpaired electrons left in the compound, due to which it shows paramagnetism
