Answer #1

atomic number of Sn is is 50

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6, 4s2, 3d10, 4p6, 5s2, 4d10, 5p2

but here tin is in +2 oxidation state so

no fo electrons are 50-2 = 48

so tin looses its two electrons from outer most which is 5P

so electronic configuration is

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6, 4s2, 3d10, 4p6, 5s2, 4d10, 5p0

we know the basic principal

if element or ion is having any unpaired electron then it will exhibit paramagnitism

if there is no unpaired electrons then it is diamagnitic

in Sn2+ there is no any unpaired electron so diamagnitic
