The atomic number of an element is 71. is this element diamagnetic or paramagnetic?

Mrrafil [7]

The element with atomic number 71(lutetium) is paramagnetic

This is because all its electrons is not paired . lutetium has electron configuration of (Xe) 4f^14 5d^1 6S^2
Its 5d sub shell is not paired since the d sub shell can accommodate a total of 10 electrons hence lutetium is paramagnetic

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
