Question

1) Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and indicate which are paramagnetic. (Type your answer using the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p1 for [Ar] 4s23d104p1.)

1) Au+

Paramagnetic
OR
Diamagnetic

2) Starting with the previous noble gas, write the condensed electron configurations of the following ions. (Type your answer using the format [Ne] 3s2 3p1 for [Ne]3s23p1.)

(a) Fe2+
  
(b) Tl+

(c) Pt2+

Explanation / Answer

as all electrons are paired, this will be diamagnetic

Fe2+

as all electrons are not paired, this will be paramagnetic

TI+ =[Ar] 3d24s1

as all electrons are not paired, this will be paramagnetic

Pt2+ =

as all electrons are not paired, this will be paramagnetic

for Au+ = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f14 5s2 5p6 5d10 6s0
