Why Mn2 plus ion show maximum paramagnetic character amongst the bivalent ions of first transition series?

Manganese is a chemical element, designated by the symbol Mn. It has the atomic number 25.Paramagnetism in the transition elements is caused by the presence of unpaired electrons in the d sub-orbital, and results in these elements being attracted by a magnetic field.Thats why mn show maxium paramagnetic character among ions of first transition elements.
