Q.

Which one of the following ions exhibits d-d transition and paramagnetism as well           [2018]

1 CrO42-  
2 Cr2O72-  
3 MnO4-  
4 MnO42-  

Ans.

(4)

In CrO42-, Cr6+(n=0) diamagnetic
In Cr2O72-, Cr6+(n=0) diamagnetic
In MnO4-, Mn7+(n=0) diamagnetic 
In MnO42-, Mn6+(n=1) paramagnetic 
In MnO42-, one unpaired electron (n) is present in d-orbital so, d-d transition is possible.
