Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism deal with the presence of electrons that are either unpaired or paired in an orbital.
Paramagnetism & Diamagnetism
Concept #1: Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism
A paramagnetic element has at least one unpaired electron and a diamagnetic element has no unpaired electrons.
Example #1: Determine if the vanadium atom is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
Practice: Write the condensed electron configuration for the nickel (III) ion and state if it is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
Practice: Write the condensed electron configuration for the copper (I) ion and is it magnetic?
