i. Paramagnetism is a property due to the presence of unpaired electrons. 

ii. In case of transition metals, as they contain unpaired electrons in the (n-1)d orbitals, most of the transition metal ions and their compounds are paramagnetic in nature. 

iii. The paramagnetic character increases with increase in the number of unpaired electrons.
