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.

2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)
65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.
Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)
=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
The mass of an ink pen with a triple beam balance if all the weights positioned to the right would be a maximum of 610 grams which sounds rather heavy for an ink pen but in the absence of necessary information it seems that that would have to be the answer.
Solids have particles that stay in place and vibrate (least energy)
Liquids have enough energy to slide past each other and have no definite shape.
Gas has a lot of energy and moves freely with no certain shape or volume
