Choose the INCORRECT statement about transition elements.
A)Ferromagnetism occurs only in elements with paired electrons.
B)Ferromagnetism is unique to Fe,Co and Ni.
C)Ferromagnetism occurs due to atoms combining in the solid state in domains.
D)Paramagnetism is due to unpaired electrons.
E)Ferromagnetism requires that interatomic distances be of the right magnitude to generate domains.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ferromagnetism is actually associated with unpaired electrons, not paired electrons. This property arises because the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons in adjacent atoms align in the same direction, leading to a strong magnetic field.
