Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism deal with the presence of electrons that are either unpaired or paired in an orbital.
A paramagnetic element has at least one unpaired electron and a diamagnetic element has no unpaired electrons.
Example #1: Determine if the vanadium atom is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
