Option (a) Ca, Mn, Co are paramagnetic elements in the fourth period of the periodic table due to unpaired electrons.

A substance's electron configuration can be used to assess if it has magnetic properties: The material is paramagnetic if any of its electrons are unpaired, and it is diamagnetic if all of its electrons are paired.

Materials with hindered electrons that are drawn to magnetic fields are considered to be paramagnetic. In the absence of a magnetic field, they become less magnetic. The magnetic moment of the material and, consequently, the paramagnetism, increase with the number of unpaired electrons.

Mn^{2+} is the ion with the most paramagnetic behaviour because it has the most unpaired electrons when two electrons are lost.

In this instance, calcium is a paramagnetic element as well. This is an anomaly. Due to the ability of one of calcium's electrons in the S orbital to jump to the D orbital, the element is paramagnetic. Since calcium is in Period 4, its D orbital is unoccupied. D orbitals exist in elements with period 4. Thus, this provides that electron with a destination.

Three electrons are not paired in cobalt. It is hence paramagnetic. Three unpaired electrons are present in the outermost subshell.

What is the word equation of photodecomposition?​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

I have for Decompostion

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation: AB → A + B. In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction

Which types of reactions would result in a change in temperature?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Chemical reaction involves the breaking of bonds in the reactants and formation of bonds in the products. ... If a reaction is exothermic, more energy is released when the bonds of the products are formed than it takes to break the bonds of the reactants. This is the reason for temperature change during a reaction.

Explanation:

Here are just a few everyday demonstrations that temperature changes the rate of chemical reaction: Cookies bake faster at higher temperatures. Bread dough rises more quickly in a warm place than in a cool one.
