The electron configuration of Mn (element 25) and the number of unpaired electrons are

(a) [Ar] 4s2 3d5, 5 unpaired electrons

(b) [Ar] 4s2 4p5, 1 unpaired electron

(c) [Ar] 3d7, 3 unpaired electrons

(d) [Ar] 4s2 3d5, 1 unpaired electron

The answer is A, but how to get the number of unpaired electrons, can anybody show me how?

Using orbital diagrams, determine the number of unpaired electrons in each of the following atoms. Start with the noble-gas core designation in the first box and then enter electron arrows. Enter your answer using UP to indicate an upwards pointing arrow, DOWN to indicate a downwards pointing arrow, UP/DOWN to indicate two arrows(electrons) in the same orbital, and BLANK to indicate no arrows. Designate unpaired electrons as UP arrows and keep all unpaired electrons and empty orbitals in the rightmost boxes of a subshell. Fill in the last box in each atom with the number of unpaired electrons in the atom.
