Find maximum number of unpaired electrons are possible in any of the period element in its ground state electronic configuration.
Answer:
6
Solution:
The 4th period elements fill 4s, 3d, and 4p orbitals. The maximum number of unpaired electrons occurs in a d-block element with a half-filled d-subshell and a half-filled s-subshell. For example, Cr (Z=24) has configuration , giving 5 unpaired electrons in 3d and 1 in 4s, totaling 6.
