hey quick question, please only answer if your pretty sure. But is Ga3+ diamagnetic or paramagnetic? I know it will lose its S and P orbitals to get the 3D10 configuration, which I thought was diamagnetic because its all even pairs, but a crappy review book says its paramagnetic because it has an odd number of pairs.... anyone know? I kind feel like my book is just ******ed.

I am pretty sure that Ga+3 is dimagnetic..i cant think of anyother way...that it can be paramagnetic...
may be it is a mistake in ur book!!!
