Q7 CYL
Question
How many unpaired electrons would be present on a Be22- ion? Would it be paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
It is paramagnetic and has two unpaired electrons.
1Step 1: Define electron
An electron is a negatively charged component of an atom that is stable. Electrons exist outside and around the nucleus of the atom.
2Step 2: Explanation
There are two unpaired electrons that are paramagnetic.
