Write the electronic configuration and find the no. of unpaired electrons as well as total spin for the following atoms:
`(i) `_(6)C` (ii) `_(8)O` (iii) `_(15)P`
`(iv) `_(21)Sc` (v) `_(26)Fe` (vi) `_(10)Ne`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will write the electronic configurations for each atom, determine the number of unpaired electrons, and calculate the total spin for each atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) Carbon (C, Atomic Number 6)** 1. **Electronic Configuration**: The electronic configuration of carbon is \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^2\). 2. **Unpaired Electrons**: In the \(2p\) subshell, there are 2 electrons. Since they can occupy separate orbitals, both are unpaired. 3. **Total Spin**: Each unpaired electron has a spin of \(+\frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, total spin = \(2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1\). ...
