AP Chemistry
1.5 Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration
A student developing a transition-metal coating process passes separate beams of isolated, neutral chromium and manganese atoms through the same nonuniform magnetic field. To compare the beams, the student uses a model in which stronger paramagnetic attraction corresponds to a larger number of unpaired electrons.
Which statement correctly predicts which beam experiences stronger paramagnetic attraction and explains the prediction?
| Atomic beam | Atomic number, \(Z\) |
|---|---|
| \(\text{Cr}\) | \(24\) |
| \(\text{Mn}\) | \(25\) |
Which statement correctly predicts which beam experiences stronger paramagnetic attraction and explains the prediction?
