Which of the following atoms would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state?
Rufina [12.5K]

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.

OxYgen and hydrogen particles are kept in a container. Which of the following
Tema [17]

Answer:

Option D

Oxygen particles mix evenly with hydrogen particles.

Explanation:

Diffusion refers to the movement of gasses from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion occurs in gases because their particles are in a state of constant random motion.

Due to this continuous random motion, once the oxygen and the hydrogen are added to the container, they will begin to mix freely with each other until they fill up the entire volume of the container.
