Solution

$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{Ti}_{22} & =3 d^2 4 s^2 ; & \mathrm{Ti}^{2+} & =3 d^2 \\ \mathrm{~V}_{23} & =3 d^3 4 s^2 ; & \mathrm{V}^{3+} & =3 d^2 \\ \mathrm{Cr}_{24} & =3 d^4 4 s^2 ; & \mathrm{Cr}^{4+} & =3 d^2 \\ \mathrm{Mn}_{25} & =3 d^5 4 s^2 ; & \mathrm{Mn}^{5+} & =3 d^2 \end{aligned}$ Related Theory $\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$ has the maximum number of unpaired electrons (5) and hence has the maximum magnetic moment.
