It has 5 unpaired electrons
I would go yards to feet, feet to inches, inches to centimeters. So 36 yards is 108 feet. There are 12 inches in a foot so 1,296 inches in 108 feet. Multiply that by 2.54 centimeters to get 3,291.84 centimeters in 36 yards.

Explanation:
Q1:
Chlorine has 17 protons while magnesium has only 12 protons. Recall that the Zeff depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The greater the size of the nuclear charge, the larger the Zeff experienced by a valence electron.
Q2:
The larger the Zeff, the smaller the atomic radius. Since the valence electrons of Cl experience a greater Zeff than those of Mg due to greater size of the nuclear charge, the atomic radius of chlorine will be smaller than that of Mg.
Q3:
The radius of an atom increases as the value of the principal quantum number (n) increases down the group due to addition of more shells. The greater the number of shells added, the greater the principal quantum number (n) and the greater the atomic radius, hence the answer.
A period is the horizontal row of elements in the periodic table and they are numbered from one to seven. In the same period, atomic number increases from left to right. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron energy levels and they transition from a metal to noble gas.
