What are paired adjectives?
If two adjectives modify a noun in the same way, they're called coordinate or paired adjectives.
What is the name for the paired sensory appendages found in arthropods?
antennae
What kind of identification aid are scientists using when they work through a series of paired descriptive statements?
taxonomic key
What does the foramen of Monroe connect to?
Actually, its the foramina of Monro, not Monroe. They are channels that connect the paired lateral ventricles with the third ventricle at the midline of the brain.
What plane can divide the body so that only one of the paired structures such as one of the eyes ears or kidneys is on each side of the plane?
Sagittal plane
How do paired electrons affect the magnetic properties of a material?
Because of a property called spin, electrons act like tiny magnets. Most of the time paired electrons contain opposite spins, meaning the material has a weak magnetic field. The more paired electrons a material has, the weaker the magnetic field in the material. Unpaired electrons attract and repel other material. This determines which materials unpaired electrons match up with and attract to form a magnetic domain.
Why are unpaired electrons more significant than paired electrons in terms of magnetic properties?
I wouldn't say they are 'more significant' but if they are paired their magnetic moments cancel each other out and if they are not paired there is a net magnetic moment.
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 diamagnetic molecule repel magnetic field?
Diamagnetic molecules repel magnetic field as they have paired electrons whose magnetic moments have been canceled due to opposite spins.
Is phosphours magnatic?
Any atom with unpaired electrons in it's orbital exhibits paramagnetism, that is that it will be attracted into an inducing magnetic field. Phosphorous has 15 electrons: 1s>2e-(all paired) 2s>2e- 2p>6e-(all paired) 3s>2e-(these two are paired) 3p>3e-(note that these are the unpaired electrons that cause it to be paramagnetic) All this is because a moving negative charge produces a magnetic field if there are two electrons in the same orbital they always spin in opposite directions cancelling each other out. When there are unpaired electrons that creates the magnetic field.
What are metals that are attracted to magnets or made into magnets called?
Unpaired electons (which is to say, electrons not paired with another electron of opposite spin).
What does it mean when you say 2 electrons are paired?
two electrons are paired means two electrons are bonded
Is oh diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Diamagnetic materials are solids with all paired electron resulting in no permanent net magnetic moment per atom. Diamagnetic properties arise from the realignment of the electron orbits under the influence of an external magnetic field. Most elements in the periodic table, including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic. Paramagnetic metals have a small and positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron orbits caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum. Ferromagnetic materials have a large and positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field. They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic domains.
What is so special about a valence electron?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These electrons are important in bonding and magnetism. For example, carbon has 4 valence electrons. It can make 4 covalent bonds to fulfill the octet rule. Also, if an atom has unpaired electrons, it is called paramagnetic and if an external magnetic field is applied, it will be attracted. If all of the electrons are paired, it is diamagnetic and will be repelled by an external magnetic field.
Is zinc magnetic or non-magnetic?
No. Zinc is not paramagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(0), or zinc metal, is [Ar] 3d10 4s2. All electrons are paired, and therefore Zn(0) is diamagnetic. The most common ionized form of zinc, Zn(2+) is also diamagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(2+) is [Ar] 3d10. All electrons are paired, and therefore the Zn(2+) cation is diamagnetic.
Why are some material magnetic and some are not?
Almost all magnetism is caused by electrons.Individual electrons have an intrinsic magnetic moment.In an atom, the electron's angular motion around the nucleus also causes a magnetic moment.Since all solid materials are composed of atoms and include electrons, the question becomes: why aren't all materials magnetic?Many atoms only have paired electrons, with the intrinsic magnetic moment of each electron cancelled out by the intrinsic magnetic moment of its paired electron.Many atoms only have "filled sub-shells", which have zero net angular motion.Atoms with either unpaired electrons, or unfilled sub-shells, or both, are inherently magnetic. However, in many materials, the magnetic moments of these atoms point in random directions, so they cancel out and the bulk material is nonmagnetic.It is to do with the pairing of electrons and their dipoles. Basically metals with uneven electrons or half shells are magnetic. Three main metals that are Iron, Cobolt and Nickel. With Iron being the main one.Hope this helps! =]
Paired electrons are represented by what dots?
An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.
