A sealed bulb contains a mono atomic gas X at 300 K . Placed in a weak non-uniform magnetic field, the bulb shows no measurable drift. When UV light ionizes a tiny fraction ( <1% ) of atoms to X+ (temperature unchanged), the bulb now drifts toward the stronger field. When the UV is switched off and the gas fully recombines, the drift disappears again.
Which ground-state valence configuration of X best explains this behavior?
