What are Unpaired Electrons?

Unpaired electrons refer to the electrons in an atom that do not pair up with another electron in an orbital. These electrons have the same spin quantum number, which means they spin in the same direction. They are often responsible for the magnetic and chemical properties of an atom, as they are more likely to be involved in chemical reactions. Unpaired electrons are typically found in atoms, ions, or molecules that have an odd number of electrons or where electron pairing is disrupted by specific circumstances.
