Paramagnetic, an easy way to check is to see if it is the last element within the orbital and you can do that simply by looking at the periodic table. The s orbital has two, the p has 6 so on and so forth. Some elements are considered diamagnetic if they are almost completely full.

Answer:

paramagnetic

Explanation:

Paramagnetic are those which has unpaired electrons and diamagnetic are those in which all electrons are paired.

Given the atomic number - 73

The electronic configuration is -

[tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^64d^{10}5s^25p^64f^{14}5d^36s^2[/tex]

The electrons in 5d orbital = 3

These 3 will be unpaired as electrons are first singly filled.

Thus, the element is paramagnetic as the electrons are unpaired.
