Answer:
No, (a) Ti²⁺ is only paramagnetic
Explanation:
Paramagnetic are those which has unpaired electrons and diamagnetic are those in which all electrons are paired.
(a) Ti²⁺
The electronic configuration is -
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}[/tex]
The electrons in 3d orbital = 2 (Unpaired)
Thus, the ion is paramagnetic as the electrons are unpaired.
(b) Zn²⁺
The electronic configuration is -
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}[/tex]
The electrons in 3d orbital = 10 (paired)
Thus, the ion is diamagnetic as the electrons are paired.
(c) Ca²⁺
The electronic configuration is -
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6[/tex]
The electrons in 3p orbital = 6 (paired)
Thus, the ion is diamagnetic as the electrons are paired.
(d) Sn²⁺
The electronic configuration is -
[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^64d^{10}5s^2[/tex]
The electrons in 5s orbital = 2 (paired)
Thus, the ion is diamagnetic as the electrons are paired.
