Because in vapour state it exists as S2 molecule and has 2 unpaired electrons in antibonding pi orbital and hence exhibit paramagnetism.

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.


How many elements in period 3 have atoms that are expected to be paramagnetic in the gas phase?

There are two elements in period 3 that are expected to be paramagnetic in the gas phase: sodium (Na) and sulfur (S). These elements have unpaired electrons in their outermost electron shells, making them paramagnetic.


Why oxygen is paramagnetic while sulphur is diamagnetic?

Oxygen has two unpaired electrons in its molecular orbital configuration, making it paramagnetic. On the other hand, sulfur does not have any unpaired electrons in its molecular orbital configuration, making it diamagnetic. The presence of unpaired electrons in oxygen makes it more attracted to a magnetic field compared to sulfur.

Is water vapour in the liquid state?

Water vapor is in the gaseous state, not the liquid state. It is formed when water evaporates into the air as a gas.


Which state is a vapour?

A vapor is not a state of matter; it is a gaseous form of a substance that is typically in the gas phase at a temperature below its critical point.
