Question

Example for anti-ferro-magnetic materials:

• A. salts of transition elements
• B. rare earth elements
• C. transition metals
• D. Ferrites

Answer 1

The correct option is A salts of transition elements

In the presence of the strong magnetic field, antiferromagnetic materials are weakly magnetised in the direction the field. This property of the materials is called antiferromagnetism and the materials which exhibit this property are called antiferromagnetic materials. Salts of transition elements exhibit this property Ferrites exhibit ferrimagnetism. The rare earth (lanthanide) elements are metals that are ferromagnetic.
