The oxide that shows magnetic property is :
- AMgO
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Identify the nature of each oxide
We need the oxide that shows magnetic property. In general, compounds containing ions with unpaired electrons show magnetic behavior (usually paramagnetism or ferrimagnetism).
- Check each option
Option A:
- Magnesium in is .
- Electronic configuration of :
- So, has configuration .
- No unpaired electrons rightarrow diamagnetic.
Option B:
- is a covalent oxide.
- It does not contain partially filled -orbitals or unpaired electrons responsible for magnetism.
- Hence, diamagnetic.
Option C:
- This is a mixed oxide: .
- It contains both and ions.
- : rightarrow unpaired electrons present.
- : rightarrow unpaired electrons present.
- Therefore, shows magnetic property.
Option D:
- Sodium in is .
- Electronic configuration of is .
- No unpaired electrons rightarrow diamagnetic.
- Conclusion
Among the given oxides, only contains transition metal ions with unpaired electrons, so it shows magnetic property.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
- Derived answer:
- Stored correct answer:
- Therefore, they agree.
