Problem 70P The hot glowing gases around the Sun, the corona, can reach millions of degrees Celsius, high enough to remove many electrons from gaseous atoms. Iron ions with charges as high as 14+ have been observed in the corona. Which ions from Fe+ to Fe14+ are paramagnetic? Which would be most strongly attracted to a magnetic field?

Question
Given the following partial (valence-level) electron configurations, (a) identify each element, (b) rank the four elements in order of increasing atomic size, and (c) rank them in order of increasing ionization energy:
Solution
Step 1 of 6
Here, we are going to identify the element from their partial (valence-level) electron configurations.
From the partial (valence-level) electron configurations, it is confirmed that
The valence electrons of the given element is \((2+2)=4 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)
