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.

Electrons must be able to flow through a material in order for the material to conduct
djverab [1.8K]

The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.

<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>

Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.
