Paramagnetism

Postby Manav Patel 3L » Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:57 am

Can someone explain the phenomenon of paramagnetism and describe how unpaired electrons contribute to the magnetic properties of paramagnetic substances?

Paramagnetism arises in substances that have unpaired electrons. These unpaired electrons align with an external magnetic field which is the reason why paramagnetic substances are attracted to external magnetic fields.
