Iron having Z=26 with electronic configuration as [Ar]3d^64s^2 has 6 electrons in the 3d shell wherein 5 electrons are aligned parallely and 1 electron  as antiparallel.

Fe^3^+ having electronic configuration as [Ag]3d^5 has 5 electrons, all aligned in the same direction.

Iron, when kept in external magnetic field, the magnetic domains of the atom get aligned in one direction that means it becomes parallel and they remain parallel even after removing the magnetic field therefore, it is considered as ferromagnetic.

A sample of magnesium is burned in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. What mass of oxygen is consumed if 74.62 g magnesium oxide is
lana [24]
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99
4vir4ik [10]
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them. 

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
