Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electronic configurations for$\left({\text{V}}^{\text{2+}}\right)$, $\left({\text{V}}^{\text{3+}}\right)$, and $\left({\text{Co}}^{\text{3+}}\right)$ions and orbital box diagrams and the noble gas notation and its paramagnetic properties have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e^-) of a given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.

Paramagnetic: The Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field.

Diamagnetic properties: In diamagnetic materials all the electron are paired so there is no permanent net magnetic moment per atom.
