Paramagnetism arises due to the presence of unpaired electrons. As the number of unpaired electrons increases, the magnetic moment increases and hence the paramagnetic character also increases. Ti2+⇒3d2⇒2 unpaired e− Sc3+⇒3d0⇒0 unpaired e− Cr2+⇒3d4⇒4 unpaired e− Co2+⇒3d7⇒3 unpaired e− Fe2+⇒3d6⇒4 unpaired e− Mn2+⇒3d5⇒5 unpaired e− Cu2+⇒3d9⇒1 unpaired e− Cr2+,Co2+,Fe2+ and Mn2+ have more paramagnetic character than Ti2+ ion.
