Use condensed electron configuration to write the reaction for the formation of each transition metal ion, and predict whether the ion is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

Use condensed electron configuration to write the reaction for the formation of each transition metal ion, and predict whether the ion is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.



A) Mn+2 (Z =25) B) Cr+3 (Z = 24) C) Hg+2 (Z = 80)
A) Since there are 5 unpaired electrons = paramagnetic
B) Since there are 3 unpaired electrons = Paramagnetic


Answer: C) Since they are filled diamagnetic
