Hey dear,
● Paramagnetic -
Paramagnetic materials have a small, positive susceptibility to magnetic fields.
● Diamagnetic -
Diamagnetic materials have a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields.
● Answer -
CsO2 is paramagnetic
● Explanation -
- Magnetic properties of a compound depend on no of free electrons. If the free electrons are present, it's paramagnetic, otherwise it's considered to be diamagnetic.
- Superoxide anion in CsO2 contains free electron, therefore it is paramagnetic.
- Peroxide anion in Na2O2 doesn't have amy free electrons, therefore it is diamagnetic in nature.
Hope this helps you...
