Indicate the number of unpaired electrons in: (a) P, (b) Si, (c) Cr, (d) Fe and (e) Kr.
(a) Phosphorus (P): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3
No of unpaired electron = 3
(b) Silicon (Si): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2
No of unpaired electron = 2 (since p orbital can have maximum 6 electron )
(c) Chromium (Cr): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5
No of unpaired electrons = 6 (since 1 electron is to be added to 4s & 5 electron to be added to 3d orbital.
(d) Iron (Fe): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6
No of unpaired electrons = 4
(e) Krypton (Kr): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6
Since all orbitals are fully occupied, there are no unpaired electrons in krypton.
