(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the species
Concept introduction:
The magnetic properties of a substance are determined by examining electronic configuration of the species. Paramagnetic species are those in which unpaired electrons are remain in the orbital of any subshell and diamagnetic species does not contain unpaired electrons in the orbital of any subshell that means all electrons are paired.
