What is the number of unpaired electrons in a lithium atom?

Lithium atoms contain one unpaired electron. Two of the three total electrons in a lithium atom are paired in its lowest energy s orbital, which can contain only two.

Paired electrons are represented by what dots?

An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.


Are valence electrons paired or unpaired?

They can be both. In sodium there is a single unpaired valence electron. In magnesium there are two valence electrons and they are paired.


How do you check paramagnetism and diamagnetism?

First make the m.o (molecular orbital) diagram. If the electrons are paired in an orbital then it is diamagnetic . If the electrons are not paired then it is paramagnetic.

Why are unpaired electrons more significant than paired electrons in terms of magnetic properties?

I wouldn't say they are 'more significant' but if they are paired their magnetic moments cancel each other out and if they are not paired there is a net magnetic moment.
