Question

Given below are two statements.
Statement I :

O_{2}

,

C u^{2 +}

and

F e^{3 +}

are weakly attracted by magnetic field and are magnetized in the same direction as magnetic field.
Statement II : NaCl and

H_{2}

O are weakly magnetized in opposite direction to magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer form the options given

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. (a) O_2, Cu^2+ and Fe^3+ are paramagnetic, ∴Weakly attracted by magnetic field. NaCl and H_2O are diamagnetic, ∴ Weakly repelled by magnetic field.
