The correct Answer is:
To determine if the species with atomic number 29 and a charge of +1 is paramagnetic, we need to analyze the electronic configuration of the species. ### Step 1: Identify the Element The atomic number 29 corresponds to the element Copper (Cu). ### Step 2: Determine the Electronic Configuration The electronic configuration of a neutral copper atom (Cu) is: - \( \text{Cu: } [\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} 4s^1 \) ### Step 3: Analyze Unpaired Electrons in Neutral Copper In the neutral state, copper has: - 10 electrons in the 3d subshell (which are all paired) - 1 electron in the 4s subshell (which is unpaired) Since there is 1 unpaired electron in the 4s subshell, a neutral copper atom is **paramagnetic**. ### Step 4: Consider the Charge on the Species The species has a charge of +1, which means it has lost one electron. When copper loses one electron to become \( \text{Cu}^+ \): - The electron is removed from the 4s subshell. Thus, the electronic configuration of \( \text{Cu}^+ \) becomes: - \( \text{Cu}^+: [\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} \) ### Step 5: Analyze Unpaired Electrons in \( \text{Cu}^+ \) In the \( \text{Cu}^+ \) state: - The 3d subshell has 10 electrons (all paired) - The 4s subshell has 0 electrons (since it lost its single unpaired electron) Since there are no unpaired electrons in \( \text{Cu}^+ \), it is **diamagnetic**. ### Conclusion The species with atomic number 29 and a +1 charge is **not paramagnetic**; it is **diamagnetic**. ### Final Answer - The species is **not paramagnetic**. ---

To determine if the species with atomic number 29 and a charge of +1 is paramagnetic, we need to analyze the electronic configuration of the species. ### Step 1: Identify the Element The atomic number 29 corresponds to the element Copper (Cu). ### Step 2: Determine the Electronic Configuration The electronic configuration of a neutral copper atom (Cu) is: - \( \text{Cu: } [\text{Ar}] 3d^{10} 4s^1 \) ...
