What happens when an atom of oxygen is subjected to external magnetic field? |
It is weakly attracted and loses magnetism on removal of field It is weakly attracted and does not lose magnetism on removal of field It is weakly attracted and domains align themselves in the direction of field It is not attracted |
It is weakly attracted and loses magnetism on removal of field |
The oxygen atom is naturally paramagnetic. Meaning that it is slightly attracted when an external magnetic field is applied and loses magnetism when the field is removed. |
