Solution
When a substance is placed in a magnetic field then the electrons of that substance arranged themselves in an opposite direction, as a result, the net dipole moment becomes zero. These substances are known as antiferromagnetic substances and the process is called antiferromagnetism.
Antiferromagnetism is shown by transition elements.
Examples of antiferromagnetic substances are Nickel oxide, Ferrous oxide, etc.
