The atoms that would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state is magnesium
The magnetism of an atom refers to its electronic configuration. A diamagnetic atom is an atom whose electrons are all paired.
A paired electron is an electron that occurs in pairs in its orbital shell.
At their respective ground state, the electronic configuration of the given elements are as follows:
The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s². As such its a diamagnetic atom.
The electronic configuration of Potassium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹. Hence, Potassium has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.
The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵. Hence, Chlorine has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.
The electronic configuration of Cobalt is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁷4s². Hence, the unpaired electrons of Cobalt in its outermost shell are three.
Therefore, the atoms that are diamagnetic in the ground state is magnesium.

Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Total mixture = 4.656 g
Sand recovered = 2.775 g
percent composition of sand in the mixture
= (2.775 g / 4.656 g ) x 100
= 59.6 % .
b )
Total of sand and salt recovered = 2.775 g + .852 g = 3.627 g .
Total mixture = 4.656 g
percent recovery = (3.627 / 4.656 ) x 100
= 77.9 % .
Carbon:
1s is filled. 2s is filled. 2p is shown to contain two electrons in one orbital and no electrons in the other two orbitals.
I believe the correct answer is B
electron dot structure
Explanation:
Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.
- The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
- The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
- The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
- Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
- It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
- The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
- It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.
