?Will be repelled when placed near a magnet

A

Diamagnetic Subastance

25
Q

?Magnetic field exists due to the spin of unpaired electrons
?Magnetic Susceptibility is Positive and Small (Weakly Magnetic)
?Tend to line up in the presence of magnetic field
?Magnetization depende linearly and reduces to zero on removal of the field
?Will be weakly attracted to Magnet
?Can be observed only at relatively low temp

A

Paramagnetic

26

?Magnetic Susceptibility is very High (Strongly Magnetic)

A

Ferromagnetic

27
Q

?Dipoles are ANTI-PARALLEL w. equal number of dipoles in each direction
?There is noexternal magnetic field effects due to self cancellation

A

Antiferromagnetic

28
Q

?Dipoles are ANTI-PARALLEL w. unequal strength of dipoles thus no self cancellation
