The electronic configuration of
Concept introduction:
The electron configuration tells us in which orbitals the electrons for an element are located. Three rules are,
- Electrons fill orbitals staring with lowest n and moving upwards(Aufbau principle)
- No two electrons can fill one orbital with the same spin(Pauli Exclusion Principle)
- For orbitals within the same subshell, the electrons fill each orbital singly before any orbital gets a second electron (Hund’s rule).
Para magnetism refers to the magnetic state of an atom with one or more unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetism has no unpaired electrons (electrons are paired).
