- Describe briefly why the study of electromagnetic radiation has been important to our understanding of the arrangement of electrons in atoms.arrow_forwardOne bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?arrow_forwardHow many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of (a) phosphorus?
