Best Answer

The atomic number of zinc is 30. Its abbreviated electron configuration is [Ar]4s23d10

The full electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10

(configurations for the atom in its ground state. Ions and excited atoms have different configurations).

Is zinc magnetic or non-magnetic?

No. Zinc is not paramagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(0), or zinc metal, is [Ar] 3d10 4s2. All electrons are paired, and therefore Zn(0) is diamagnetic. The most common ionized form of zinc, Zn(2+) is also diamagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(2+) is [Ar] 3d10. All electrons are paired, and therefore the Zn(2+) cation is diamagnetic.

Is 1s22s22p63623d104s2 a pseudo noble gas electron configuration?

No, that electron configuration does not exist. After the 3p orbital fills with electrons, the next lowest energy orbital is 4s. After 4s contains 2 electrons, then 3d can accept electrons, upto 10. The element with this electron configuration is zinc, one of the transitional metals. Although 3d is full, those electrons can be 'valence' electrons and given to non-metals to form ions, such as Zn+2 or Zn+4. So 3d really acts like a 4th shell orbital and will still be quite reactive even when full. To see just how reactive these electrons are, look at the youtube videos embedded in this site: http://www.chemicool.com/elements/zinc.html.

What element has 3 full shells?

This question is unclear. If you mean 3 full electron shells and nothing else, then it would be argon. But every element after argon has 3 full electron shells also, but they also have other shells with electrons. If you mean a full 3rd energy shell such as in having 3d10 electrons, then it would be Zn but Zn also has 4s2 electrons. So, the question is a vague one.
