HELP PLZZZ Write the full electron configuration for phosphorus, atomic symbol P, then draw an orbital box diagram that accounts for all of the electrons in phosphorus. You don’t need to include the orbital box diagram as part of your answer. Based on your drawing, explain why phosphorus is either paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

The correct configuration is -

Explanation:

Diamagnetism is an extremely week type of attraction that is incited by an adjustment in the orbital movement of electrons because of an applied attractive field. This attraction is nonpermanent and continues due to the presence of an external field.

The magnetic properties of a substance can be controlled by analyzing its electron configuration. If it has unpaired electrons in its outer orbital, at that point the substance is paramagnetic, and in the event that all electrons are found paired, the substance is then diamagnetic.

The electron configuration of the phosphorus is -

. As it is clear that the outer shell of P has 3 unpaired electron it is paramagnetic.

your answer would be “dry”

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
