Best Answer

if a strong magnetic field is applied, the molecular magnets set themselves with their lengths almost parallel to it. thus when the resultant magnetic effect is weak,the process is called paramagnetism

paramagnetism is foung in aluminium,manganese and platinum.

Paramagnetism and number of unpaired electrons relation?

The paramagnetic value is the number of unpaired electrons in the metal ion.


How do you check paramagnetism and diamagnetism?

First make the m.o (molecular orbital) diagram. If the electrons are paired in an orbital then it is diamagnetic . If the electrons are not paired then it is paramagnetic.


Differences between diamagnetism and paramagnetism?

diamagnetic has paired electrons as a result it repels for the magnetic field but,paramagnetic has unpaired electrons as a result it attracts tyhe magnetic field


Why sulfur is paramagnetic in vapour state?

Because in vapour state it exists as S2 molecule and has 2 unpaired electrons in antibonding pi orbital and hence exhibit paramagnetism.


Why ferromagnetism not found in liquid and gases?

Because in case of liquids and gases there will be more randomness in magnetic moments so that will unable to align in one direction and will start behave as paramagnetism.


Langevin theory of paramagnetism?

A theory which treats a substance as a classical (non-quantum-mechanical) collection of permanent magnetic dipoles with no interactions between them, having a Boltzmann distribution with respect to energy of interaction with an applied field


What is Van Vleck paramagnetism?

When we apply external magnetic field, the orbital levels of electrons are rearranged themselves. Final vector sum of the orbital moment along the direction of magnetic field gives van vleck contribution.
