Question:medium

The pair of ions with paramagnetic nature and same number of electrons is

Show Hint

To check for paramagnetism, count the number of unpaired electrons in the ion's electronic configuration. $f^0, f^{14}, d^0, d^{10}$ correspond to diamagnetic ions (no unpaired electrons). For Lanthanides, special stability is conferred by the half-filled ($4f^7$) and full ($4f^{14}$) configurations.
