The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.

The molar concentration will be greater than 0.01 M $KIO_{3}$ .

Since more of the compound was measured out than what was calculated, you can think of the solution as being 'stronger' than what it was calculated to be. Since a 'stronger' concentration results in a number that is higher, the molarity of this solution is going to be greater than 0.01 M.
