QUESTION:

Problem 61P

Palladium (Pd; Z = 46) is diamagnetic. Draw partial orbital diagrams to show which of the following electron configurations is consistent with this fact:

(a) [Kr] 5s24d8

(b) [Kr] 4d10

(c) [Kr]5s14d9

ANSWER:

Solution 61P:

Here, we are going to draw the partial orbital diagrams to show which of the following electron configurations is consistent with this fact.

Step 1: (a) [Kr] 5s24d8

The partial orbital diagram for the configuration (a) [Kr] 5s24d8 is given below:

Therefore, it has two (2) unpaired electrons. Thus, the element which have this electronic configuration is paramagnetic.

According to data, Palladium (Pd; Z = 46) is diamagnetic

Therefore, (a) [Kr] 5s24d8 is not Palladium (Pd; Z = 46)
