2. Electrons are in different orbitals outside of the nucleus. As we know, the nucleus is positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Take the nickel atom as an example, it has 28 electrons, and all reside in different orbitals. a. What are the complete, condensed, and valence electron configurations of nickel atom? b. There will be some electrons on 3d orbitals. What are the four quantum numbers for each electron in the 3d orbitals?

One bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?
Which atom would be expected to have a half-filled 4s subshell?
