feromagnetic???
Answers
Explanation:
Nickel is a popular magnetic metal with ferromagnetic properties. Like iron, its compounds are present in the earth's core.
What is ferromagnetism?
Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials (such as iron) form permanent magnets.
In other words, it is a kind of magnetism that is associated with iron, cobalt, nickel, and some alloys or compounds.
What are Ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are those which shows very strong attraction in presence of magnetic field. For example, Iron, cobalt, nickel and CrO2 are called ferromagnetic substances.
What is a characteristic of ferromagnetic substance?
Ferromagnetic substances are weakly attracted by magnetic field.
What are facts about Nickel?
Nickel is another amorphous transition metal and has a Curie temperature of 627 K. It can be magnetized too.
In fact, Nickel can show its ferromagnetic property at room temperature.
Why is nickel ferromagnetic?
Nickel is ferromagnetic because it naturally form "magnetic domains", where a large group of atoms naturally align to each other to create an area with a net magnetic field.
