An element becomes paramagnetic if it has _?

Correct answer: C. Magnetic moment

  • A. Electric field
  • B. Paired valence electrons
  • C. Magnetic moment
  • D. None of these

Explanation

This option is correct because the magnetic moment is the magnetic strength and orientation of a magnet object that produces a magnetic field. Thus magnetic field is produced when a paramagnetic substance can easily be attracted by an external field.

About Transition Elements

Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
