Answer:
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{5}4s^1[/tex]
6 unpaired electrons
paramagnetic
Explanation:
Paramagnetic are those which has unpaired electrons and diamagnetic are those in which all electrons are paired.
Given, Chromium (Cr) the atomic number - 24
The electronic configuration is -
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{5}4s^1[/tex]
There are 5 unpaired electrons in 3d and 1 unpaired in 4s. Total number of unpaired electrons = 6
Thus, the element is paramagnetic as the electrons are unpaired.
