A. Paramagnetic

B. Diamagnetic

4.

How many unpaired electrons are in the calcium atom?_______
This atom is ...

A. Paramagnetic
B. Diamagnetic

Explanation / Answer

1) Li = 3 atomic number = 1s22s1

so it have 1 unpaired electrons.

it is para magnetic

2) Zn = 30 atomic number = [Ar]3d104s2

it have 0 unpaired electrons

it is diamagnetic

3) C = 6 atomic number = 1s22s22p2

it have 2 unpaired electrons

it is para magnetic.

4) Ca = 20 atomic number = [Ar]4s2

0 unpaired electrons

diamagnetic
