Question

How to find whether a compound/ion/atom given is paramagnetic or diamagnetic in easy method??

Answer 1

Answer:

If it has unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic and if all electrons are paired, the substance is then diamagnetic.

Explanation

This process can be broken into three steps:

1. Write down the electron configuration
2. Draw the valence orbitals
3. Identify if unpaired electrons exist

Determine whether the substance is paramagnetic or diamagnetic
