Practicing Success
Read the below paragraph and answer the following questions; Every substance has some magnetic properties associated with it. The origin of these properties lies in the electrons. Each electron in an atom behaves like a tiny magnet. The magnetic strength depends on the number of unpaired electron possessed by the element. On the basis of their magnetic properties, substances can be classified into five categories: (i) paramagnetic (ii) diamagnetic (iii) ferromagnetic (iv) antiferromagnetic and (v) ferrimagnetic. |
Which among the following possess zero net magnetic moment? |
Diamagnetic Antiferromagnetic Paramagnetic Ferromagnetic |
Antiferromagnetic |
In antiferromagnetic substances, domains are oppositely oriented and cancel out each other's magnetic moment. |
