Is a phosphorus atom in the ground state paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

Arsenic is paramagnetic because the electron configuration is {Ar}4s^2,3d^10,4p^3. Due to the unpaired electron at the end (4p^*3*) the atom in ground state is paramagnetic. **OR Arsenic would be paramagnetic since the 4 p orbitals each contain one electron with parallel spin. These three unpaired electrons give arsenic its paramagnetic property.

Is iron diamagnetic in the ground state?
No, iron is ferromagnetic.
What is the state of phosphorus?
powder
Are diamonds magnetic?
no, diamonds are not magnetic as they are made from carbon which is not magnetic either.
How does the molecular order structure explain the magnetic properties of oxygen?
Molecular orbital theory predicts that ground state diatomic oxygen has two unpaired electrons (it is a diradical) which occupy its pi orbitals. These unpaired electrons produce a magnetic moment and are responsible for the paramagnetic property of diatomic oxygen.
Why do elements go from ground state to excited state?
Elements go from the ground state to the excited state if some form of energy is supplied. Otherwise, they stay in the ground state.
Is hydrogen paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
Hydrogen Is Diamagnetic....... Because Hydrogen is not present in its free state (H), but it is present in its compounds or in a molecule (H2). So that's why it is diamagnetic.
Is iron diamagnetic in the ground state?
No, iron is ferromagnetic.
What is the complete ground state electron configuration for the phosphorus atom?
1s22s22p63s23p3
How many unpaired electrons are there in a ground-state magnesium ion Mg2?

its a solid it will ignite! be careful with it
What state is phosphorus?
solid state
How many unpaired electrons in the ground state of neon?
There are 0 unpaired electrons which would make it diamagnetic
What it is phosphorus's state of matter?
At normal temperatures, phosphorus is a solid.
Differentiative between diamagnetic paramagnetic and ferromagnetic?
Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Diamagnetic materials are solids with all paired electron resulting in no permanent net magnetic moment per atom. Diamagnetic properties arise from the realignment of the electron orbits under the influence of an external magnetic field. Most elements in the periodic table, including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic. Paramagnetic metals have a small and positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron orbits caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum. Ferromagnetic materials have a large and positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field. They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic domains. In these domains, large numbers of atom's moments (1012 to 1015) are aligned parallel so that the magnetic force within the domain is strong. When a ferromagnetic material is in the unmagnitized state, the domains are nearly randomly organized and the net magnetic field for the part as a whole is zero. When a magnetizing force is applied, the domains become aligned to produce a strong magnetic field within the part. Iron, nickel, and cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic materials. Components with these materials are commonly inspected using the magnetic particle method.
How many orbitals in a phosphorus atom?
There are 9 occupied orbitals in a phosphorus atom's ground state: one 1s orbital, one 2s orbital, three 2p orbitals, one 3s orbital, and three 3p orbitals.
