(a)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration and orbital diagram for cobalt ion is to be stated. The cobalt ion is to be categorized as diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
Concept introduction: The electronic configuration determines the number of electrons present in each subshell of the element.
The orbital diagram is a representation in which, the orbitals are represented as the boxes containing the electrons with the opposite spin as the arrow facing upward and downward directions. The orbitals of the same subshell are attached with each other.
A substance exhibits paramagnetism if it possesses unpaired electrons. A substance exhibits diamagnetism if it possesses all spin paired electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration and orbital diagram for nitrogen ion is to be stated. The nitrogen ion is to be categorized as diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
Concept introduction: The electronic configuration determines the number of electrons present in each subshell of the element.
The orbital diagram is a representation in which, the orbitals are represented as the boxes containing the electrons with the opposite spin as the arrow facing upward and downward directions. The orbitals of the same subshell are attached with each other.
A substance exhibits paramagnetism if it possesses unpaired electrons. A substance exhibits diamagnetism if it possesses all spin paired electrons.
(c)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration and orbital diagram for calcium ion is to be stated. The calcium ion is to be categorized as diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
Concept introduction: The electronic configuration determines the number of electrons present in each subshell of the element.
The orbital diagram is a representation in which, the orbitals are represented as the boxes containing the electrons with the opposite spin as the arrow facing upward and downward directions. The orbitals of the same subshell are attached with each other.
