Question

1. (30 pts) For germanium (Ge) atom: 1) Write the shorthand ground state electron configuration and orbital diagram for Ge. Indicate the magnetic property (diamagnetic or paramagnetic) of the atom. 2) Write a set of quantum numbers (n. l, m, m.) for one of the germanium valence electrons. 3) Based on the above orbital diagram, predict one possible germanium cation charges. Explain the reasons of your predictions

Answer 1

first identify the atomic number and then no of electrons and calculate the values and then write them as follows
