Question

What element is represented? Is it dimagnetic or paramagnetic? What is a possible set of quantum numbers for an unpaired electron in the orbital box diagram?

The image depicts an electron configuration using an orbital diagram format. It begins with the electron configuration of krypton, denoted by [Kr], and continues with additional electrons placed in higher energy orbitals.

- **4d Orbital**: Contains five boxes, each representing an orbital. The electrons are distributed as follows: 
  - First orbital: Two electrons with opposite spins.
  - Second orbital: Two electrons with opposite spins.
  - Third orbital: Two electrons with opposite spins.
  - Fourth orbital: One electron with an upward spin.
  - Fifth orbital: One electron with an upward spin.

- **5s Orbital**: Contains one box. 
  - Two electrons with opposite spins.

- **5p Orbital**: Contains three boxes.
  - First box: One electron with an upward spin.
  - Second and third boxes are empty.

This diagram represents the filling of electron orbitals following Hund's Rule and the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
