    The element with atomic number 71 (lutetium) is paramagnetic

    This is because all its electrons is not paired. lutetium has electron configuration of (Xe) 4f^14 5d^1 6S^2

    Its 5d sub shell is not paired since the d sub shell can accommodate a total of 10 electrons hence lutetium is paramagnetic
