The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given substances are colored, paramagnetic, or both, we will analyze each one individually based on their electronic configurations and properties. 1. **NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide)**: - Electronic Configuration: NO₂ has an unpaired electron. - **Conclusion**: Paramagnetic and colored. 2. **Cu⁺ (Copper(I) Ion)**: - Electronic Configuration: Cu⁺ has the configuration [Ar] 3d¹⁰. - **Conclusion**: Diamagnetic (no unpaired electrons), colorless. 3. **O₂ (Oxygen)**: - Electronic Configuration: O₂ has two unpaired electrons in its π* orbitals. - **Conclusion**: Paramagnetic, colorless. 4. **O₃ (Ozone)**: - Electronic Configuration: O₃ is diamagnetic. - **Conclusion**: Colorless but has a pale blue color. 5. **Hg₂²⁺ (Mercury(I) Ion)**: - Electronic Configuration: Hg₂²⁺ is a dimer of Hg⁺ and is diamagnetic. - **Conclusion**: Colorless and diamagnetic. 6. **Cd²⁺ (Cadmium Ion)**: - Electronic Configuration: Cd²⁺ has the configuration [Kr] 4d¹⁰. - **Conclusion**: Diamagnetic and colorless. 7. **Al (Aluminum)**: - Electronic Configuration: Al has one unpaired electron in its 3p orbital. - **Conclusion**: Paramagnetic and silvery-white in color. 8. **C (Graphite)**: - Electronic Configuration: Graphite has unpaired electrons in its p orbitals. - **Conclusion**: Paramagnetic and black in color. 9. **Sc³⁺ (Scandium(III) Ion)**: - Electronic Configuration: Sc³⁺ has the configuration [Ar] 3d⁰. - **Conclusion**: Diamagnetic and colorless. Now, let's summarize the findings: - **Colored and Paramagnetic**: NO₂, Al, C (Graphite) - **Colored but not Paramagnetic**: O₃ (pale blue) - **Paramagnetic but not Colored**: O₂ - **Diamagnetic and Colorless**: Cu⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cd²⁺, Sc³⁺ ### Final Count: - **Total substances that are colored or paramagnetic or both**: - NO₂ (colored and paramagnetic) - O₂ (paramagnetic) - O₃ (colored) - Al (paramagnetic) - C (graphite) (paramagnetic and colored) **Total = 5 substances**.

To determine how many of the given substances are colored, paramagnetic, or both, we will analyze each one individually based on their electronic configurations and properties. 1. **NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide)**: - Electronic Configuration: NO₂ has an unpaired electron. - **Conclusion**: Paramagnetic and colored. 2. **Cu⁺ (Copper(I) Ion)**: - Electronic Configuration: Cu⁺ has the configuration [Ar] 3d¹⁰. ...
