Answer 1

Fe₃O₄ contains the magnetic dipoles of cations oriented as ↑↑↑↓↓↓

Answer 2

Fe₃O₄ contains the magnetic dipoles of cations oriented as:

• Chemical name : Magnetite

• It is ferrimagnetic in nature

• It can be converted into permanent magnet by continuous magnetization around it.

• It has the highest magnetic strength of all other magnetic material present on the earth..

• Magnetite which are magnetized by natural phenomena is known as lodestone.

• Curie's temperature of magnetite is given as 858 K

• Hence orientation of ferrimagnetic substance is
