Answer:
Paramagnetism is dependent on the unpaired electron in the last orbital . In this regard, Cu(I) chloride is paramagnetic whereas Cu(II) chloride is not.
Explanation:
Paramagnetism is the property of materials/components which makes them attracted them weekly to the magnetic field.
It is related to electronic configuration, such that it depends on the unpaired electron in the last orbital possess the property.
On basis of this property, Cu(I) chloride is paramagnetic while Cu(II) chloride is non paramagnetic. This is because Cu(I) chloride contains an unpaired electron in the last orbital whereas Cu(II) chloride does not have any unpaired electron.
Answer:
Explanation:
Paramagnetism is a type of magnetism whereby materials are weakly attracted to an externally applied magnetic field and then form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. They are attracted to magnetic fields and have magnetic moment induced by the applied field is linear in the field strength. Paramagnetic materials include elements such as Oxygen,
Aluminium etc. and maybe some compounds like FeO etc.
Paramagnetism occurs due to the presence of unpaired electrons in an atom, so atoms with incompletely filled atomic orbitals are paramagnetic, there are exceptions such as copper exist and this is due to their spin, unpaired electrons have a magnetic dipole moment and act like tiny magnets. They have a magnetic permeability slightly greater than 1. External magnetic field causes the electrons spin to align parallel to the field hence, causing a net attraction. Paramagnetic materials include aluminium, oxygen, titanium, and iron oxide (FeO).
From the example,
Cu(I) and Cu(II)
Electronic configuration
Cu(I) - [Ar] 3d10
Cu(II) - [Ar] 3d9
[Ar] - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
Therefore, Cu(I) is Paramagnetic while Cu(II) is not Paramagnetic (diamagnetic).
