Explain how the concept of paramagnetism would change if the electrons in a material were fully paired. What would the implications be for its uses in technology?
💡 Hint: Consider the roles of paired vs. unpaired electrons in magnetism.
Given a material with 6 unpaired electrons, calculate its potential for paramagnetism in relation to a material with 12 unpaired electrons. What assumptions do you need to make?
💡 Hint: Consider how the quantity of unpaired electrons correlates with magnetic strength.
