The electronic configurations for
Concept Introduction:
Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e-) of a given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.
Paramagnetic: The Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field.
Diamagnetic properties: In diamagnetic materials all the electron are paired so there is no permanent net magnetic moment per atom.

- Using orbital box diagrams, depict an electron configuration for each of the following ions: (a) Mg2+, (b) K+, (c) Cl, and (d) O2.arrow_forwardUse atomic orbital box diagrams to determine which chromium ground-state configuration has the greater number of unpaired electrons: [Ar] 3d44s2 or [Ar] 3d54s1.arrow_forwardConsider the eight most abundant elements in the human body, as outlined in Exercise 156. Excluding hydrogen, which of these elements would have the smallest size? largest size? smallest first ionization energy? largest first ionization energy?arrow_forward
- A nonmetallic element, R, burns brightly in air to give the oxide R4O10. If R is in Period 3, what is the ground-state valence-shell configuration of the atom?arrow_forwardIn one area of Australia, the cattle did not thrive despite the presence of suitable forage. An investigation showed the cause to be the absence of sufficient cobalt in the soil. Cobalt forms cations in two oxidation states, Co2 and Co3+. Write the electron structure of the two cations.arrow_forward
