Two. The ground state configuration of Sulfur is [Ne] 3s23p4. According to Hund's rule, the p orbitals must fill up separately first. This results in the first 3 electrons going into separate orbitals, and the fourth then doubles up with the first, leaving the other two p orbitals with unpaired electrons.

How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus have in its ground state?
Phosphorus has three unpaired electrons in its ground state.
How many unpaired electrons are there in the iron atom?
That would be 0. The ground state of every element except for Hydrogen is 1s2 which has no unpaired electrons. (only valence electrons have the ability to be unpaired). Full configuation of Fe would be: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6 WWWWWWWWWRRRRRRROOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
How many unpaired electrons are there in a ground state fluorine atom?
There should not be any unpaired valence electrons in a pure sample of Fe2O3: This substance is composed of Fe+3 cations and O-2 anions, in which all of the originally unpaired valence electrons in Fe and O atoms have become paired. Since Fe is a transition element, there may or may not be unpaired non-valence electrons in its inner shells.
How many electrons are present in an atom of silicon?
A neutral silicon atom will have 14 electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. A link follows and can be found below.
Is chlorine magnetic?
Chlorine is not inherently magnetic in its standard state. Chlorine atoms have no unpaired electrons, so they do not exhibit magnetic properties.

Does silicon have at least 2 unpaired electrons in its ground state?
Yes. The electronic configuration of Si is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. All orbitals from 1s2 to 3s2 are being completely filled. There are two more electrons in the 3p orbitals, one which occupies 3px orbital and the other one 3py. They are both unpaired electrons.

How many unpaired electrons are there in a ground-state magnesium ion Mg2?
Magnesium has five unpaired electrons and is therefor paramagnetic
What has no unpaired electrons in its ground state electron configuration?
Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon, have no unpaired electrons in their ground state electron configuration. This means that all of their electrons are paired up in orbitals.
What states that for an atom in the ground state the number of unpaired electrons is the maximum possible and these unpaired electrons have the same spin?
Hund's Rule

There are 5 unpaired electrons in Fe^3+ in its ground state.
How many unpaired electrons does germanium have in its ground state?
Germanium has 0 unpaired electrons in its ground state, as it has a completely filled 4s and 4p orbitals, resulting in a full outer shell configuration.
