(a)
Interpretation:
The elements that are diamagnetic in the first transition series has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Diamagnetic: When atoms or ions with all electrons are paired their magnetic field effectively cancels each other. Substances with paired electrons are called diamagnetic. They are weakly repelled by magnetic fields.
Paramagnetic: Atoms or ions with unpaired electrons are attracted to magnetic field. Substances with unpaired electrons are called paramagnetic.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the elements in first transition series, the element with greatest number of unpaired electrons has to be identified.

- Elements can be classified into groups based on their electron configurations. The representative elements are those that have s and p orbitals. The transition elements are elements that fill the d orbitals (groups 3–11 on the periodic table), and the inner transition metals are elements that fill the f orbitals. (a) Like first member of other groups, boron also differs from rest of the members of its group. Give two (2) properties that were only own by boron, and not the other members of its group. (b) Give two (2) similar properties shared by the diagonal effect pair of lithium and magnesiumarrow_forward(a) As we go down the periodic table, which subshell is filled first, the 3d or the 4s subshell?
