Study Notes
Ferromagnetism and Paramagnetism
- Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnets.
- Ferromagnetism is a strong form of paramagnetism.
- Many transition metal ions exhibit paramagnetism.
- Paramagnetism results from unpaired electrons.
- Each unpaired electron has a magnetic moment due to both spin and orbital angular momentum.
Determining Magnetic Moment
- For first-row transition metal compounds, orbital angular momentum is insignificant.
- Magnetic moment is determined by the number of unpaired electrons using the spin-only formula: µ = √(n(n+2)) where n = number of unpaired electrons, and µ = magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons (BM).
- A single unpaired electron has a magnetic moment of 1.73 Bohr magnetons (BM).
- An increasing number of unpaired electrons leads to a higher magnetic moment.
- This relationship helps determine the number of unpaired electrons present in an atom, molecule, or ion.
