Question

Which ion is paramagnetic in nature?

Answer 1

• When an atom has one or more unpaired electrons in its orbital, it is said to be paramagnetic in nature.
• When a magnetic field is applied these unpaired electrons get attracted by the applied magnetic field.
• Molecules like ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ and ions like ${\mathrm{Cr}}^{+3}$ are examples of paramagnetic materials.
