Answer:

a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4

Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic

b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1

For Au+ is not paramagnetic

c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn2+ is paramagnetic

d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²

Hf2+ is not paramagnetic

Explanation:

An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.
