Question

What is meant by diamagnetic paramagnetic? Give one example of diamagnetic and paramagnetic transition metal and lanthanoid metal​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Whenever two electrons are paired together in an orbital, or their total spin is 0, they are diamagnetic electrons. Atoms with all diamagnetic electrons are called diamagnetic atoms. A paramagnetic electron is an unpaired electron. An atom is considered paramagnetic if even one orbital has a net spin.

Answer 2

Answer: This may help you

Explanation:

Any time two electrons share the same orbital, their spin quantum numbers have to be different. Whenever two electrons are paired together in an orbital, or their total spin is 0, they are diamagnetic electrons. Atoms with all diamagnetic electrons are called diamagnetic atoms.

A paramagnetic electron is an unpaired electron. An atom is considered paramagnetic if even one orbital has a net spin. An atom could have ten diamagnetic electrons, but as long as it also has one paramagnetic electron, it is still considered a paramagnetic atom.

Diamagnetic atoms repel magnetic fields. The unpaired electrons of paramagnetic atoms realign in response to external magnetic fields and are therefore attracted. Paramagnets do not retain magnetization in the absence of a magnetic field, because thermal energy randomizes electron spin orientations.
