Answer:
D
Explanation:
This explains how two noble gases molecules can have an attractive force between them.
This force is called as van dar Waals forces.
It plays a fundamental role in fields in as diverse as supramolecular chemistry structural biology .
If no other forces are present, the point at which the force becomes repulsive rather than attractive as two atoms near one another is called the van der Waals contact distance. This results from the electron clouds of two atoms unfavorably coming into contact.[1] It can be shown that van der Waals forces are of the same origin as the Casimir effect, arising from quantum interactions with the zero-point field.[2] The resulting van der Waals forces can be attractive or repulsive.[3] It is also sometimes used loosely as a synonym for the totality of intermolecular forces.[4] The term includes the force between permanent dipoles (Keesom force), the force between a permanent dipole and a corresponding induced dipole (Debye force), and the force between instantaneously induced dipoles
Answer : The electron configurations consistent with this fact is, (b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
Explanation :
Electronic configuration : It is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.
Paramagnetic compounds : They have unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetic compounds : They have no unpaired electrons that means all are paired.
The given electron configurations of Palladium are:
(a) [Kr] 5s²4d⁸
In this, there are 2 electrons in 's' orbital and 8 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital are paired but 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
(b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
In this, there are 10 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that electrons in 'd' orbital are paired. So, this configuration shows diamagnetic.
(c) [Kr] 5s¹4d⁹
In this, there are 1 electron in 's' orbital and 9 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital and 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
