Question 2

Diamagnetic element

Answer 2

1) all electrons are paired

2) slightly repelled by magnetic fields

Question 3

If an element has an odd number of e-, is it paramagnetic or diamagnetic

Answer 3

paramagnetic

Question 4

If an element has an even number of e-, is it paramagnetic or diamagnetic

Answer 4

It can be either paramagnetic or diamagnetic. You have to fill out the electron configuration energy diagram to find out
