i meant 2 , so you write out the electronic configuration out for each one and then look at the p orbital put them in the box notation using the arrows , and then you can see how many unpaired electrons there are. hope that makes sense if not ask me .

for the other one i think it is B, because it says it is p is partly decomposed ,you start with 2 moles of P if 1 mole of P decomposed to 1 mole of Q and x mole of R you'd be left with 2+x which is the total mol. you can do trial and error and eliminate

So , the 2+x is for the product's side ?
