Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Cl = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Al = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Fe2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

S2- = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. If all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic.

S2- is diamagnetic because of its paired electrons in the outermost shell.
