    Which of the following is paramagnetic?

    A)  \[N{{i}^{2+}}\]            

    B)  \[C{{u}^{+}}\]

    C)   \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\]

    D)  \[S{{c}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Elements or ions containing unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. \[Ni(28)=[Ar]3{{d}^{8}},\,4{{s}^{2}}\] \[N{{i}^{2+}}=[Ar]3{{d}^{8}},4{{s}^{0}}\] \[N{{i}^{2+}}\] stage Because \[N{{i}^{2+}}\] have two unpaired electrons in 3d-.subshell, therefore it is paramagnetic.
