One bit of evidence that the present theory of atomic structure is "correct" lies in the magnetic properties of matter. atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit paramagnetism. the degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. on the basis of the electron orbital diagrams for the following elements, indicate which atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and tell how many unpaired electrons each atom contains. a. phosphorus, z = 15b. iodine, z = 53c. germanium, z = 32
