Identify the following atoms as being either paramagnetic or diamagnetic based on their electron configurations. Fe: P: Te:
Dr. Satish I.
Use the basic rules for electron configurations to indicate the number of (a) unpaired electrons in an atom of $P ;$ (b) $3 d$ electrons in an atom of $\mathrm{Br} ;$ (c) $4 p$ electrons in an atom of Ge; (d) 6 s electrons in an atom of $\mathrm{Ba}$ (e) $4 f$ electrons in an atom of Au.
Determine the number of unpaired electrons in each of the following atoms in the ground state and identify each as diamagnetic or paramagnetic: (a) $\mathrm{C},(\mathrm{b}) \mathrm{S}$, (c) Cu, (d) $\mathrm{Pb}$ (e) Ti.
