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:
The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S
Explanation:
Silver is insoluble as a chloride, so the silver ions get precipitated on addition of chloride ion as silver chloride. This means Ag+ would be removed the first.
So we will add NaCl in the first step.
The following reaction will occur.
Ag+ + Cl- → AgCl(s)
Both, Pb2 and Ni are soluble as chlorides. (lead chloride is soluble as a hot solution but will ppt when colder).
When we add Na2SO4, Pb2+ will get precipitated (because it's insoluble) as PbSO4 and Ni will remain soluble as NiSO4 is soluble in water.
The reaction that will occur is:
Pb^2+ + SO4^2- → PbSO4(s)
Nickel is insoluble as a sulfide. So when we will add Na2S, nickel will be precipitated as sulfide and be able to separate and be collected.
The solutions should be added in this order NaCl > Na2SO4 > Na2S
