To solve the question, we will write the electronic configurations of Chromium (Cr) and Iron (Fe) and then determine the number of unpaired electrons for each element. ### Step 1: Write the electronic configuration for Chromium (Cr, Z = 24) 1. **Determine the order of filling orbitals**: The order of filling is based on the Aufbau principle, which states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals first. The order is as follows: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d. 2. **Fill the orbitals with electrons**: - 1s can hold 2 electrons: 1s² ...
