Question

why group 18 elements show magnetic properties please explain it ?

Answer 1

Answer:

D-Block elements when placed in external magnetic field either show attraction or repulsion.

Reason:

The presence of unpaired electron or paired electron and unpaired electron present in transition metal produces a magnetic moment.

Such type of metals are attracted in the external magnetic field.

$\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}$

where, n is number of unpaired electrons.
