Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

According to  molecular orbital theory, the paramagnetism of $O _{2}$  molecule is due to presence of 

  1. Unpaired electrons in the bonding $\sigma $ molecular orbital
  2. Unpaired electrons in the anti- bonding $\sigma $ molecular orbital
  3. Unpaired electron in the bonding $\pi $ molecular orbital
  4. Unpaired electrons in the anti - bonding $\pi $ molecular obrital
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

According to molecular orbital theory, the electronic configuration of the oxygen molecule places its last two electrons into degenerate anti-bonding pi star molecular orbitals. Because these two electrons remain unpaired, the O2 molecule exhibits paramagnetism.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

Which of the following is paramagnetic  in nature ? 

  1. $N _{2}$
  2. $C _{2}$
  3. $B _{2}$
  4. $O _{2}^{2+}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Molecular orbital theory shows that B2 has 10 electrons in bonding orbitals and 4 in antibonding, resulting in a bond order of 1 and two unpaired electrons in pi 2p orbitals, making it paramagnetic. O2 2+ has 14 electrons and is diamagnetic, while N2 and C2 are also diamagnetic with all paired electrons.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

An atom is paramagnetic if it has :

  1. an electric dipole moment

  2. no magnetic moment

  3. a magnetic moment

  4. no electric dipole moment
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Paramagnetism arises from the presence of unpaired electrons in an atom or molecule, which generate a net magnetic moment. When placed in an external magnetic field, these magnetic moments are attracted. Thus, a paramagnetic atom is characterized by having a nonzero magnetic moment.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

A paramagnetic substance when placed in an externally applied non-uniform magnetic field tends to ___________.

  1. increase the applied field

  2. decrease the applied field

  3. vary the applied field

  4. change the applied field
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Paramagnetic substances are the substances which are feebly attracted by a magnet. When a non-uniform external magnetic field is applied to a paramagnetic substance the magnetic field tries to aligned the magnetic moment in the direction of the field 

Completely alignment is however not possible, on account of thermal vibration. A better allingement can be achieved by increasing the strength of the applied magnetic field.

When the atomic magnetic moments are randomly oriented in a solid its magnetic behavior is termed as paramagnetic.in paramagnetism electrons are unpaired.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

Liquid oxygen remains suspended between two pole forces of a magnet because it is:

  1. diamagnetic

  2. paramagnetic

  3. ferromagnetic

  4. antiferromagnetic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Oxygen is paramagnetic in nature. So if it will be attracted both by North pole or South pole. When it is placed exactly between two magnetic poles, the forces acting on it due to magnetic poles will be equal & opposite. Hence it will remain suspended between them.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

A substance is placed in a non uniform magnetic field. It experiences weak force towards the strong field. The substance is _________ type.

  1. Ferromagnetic

  2. Diamagnetic

  3. Paramagnetic

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Paramagnetic substance has the property that when they are placed in an external magnetic field, they get weakly magnetised in the same direction as that of external magnetic field and are weakly attracted by the external magnetic field.
So, correct answer is option C.

Multiple choice physics some natural phenomena lightning conductors lightning safety advanced of lightning

What are may happen if a building does not have earthing?

  1. Lightning may strike a building due to opposite charge causing fir or damage to the building

  2. In the rainy season water increases the chances of lightning striking a building causing damage

  3. Both A & B

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Sometimes electric discharge can take place between the charged cloud and earth. While passing over a tree or a tall building an opposite charge may be induced causing a lightning to a building and if the charge is large it may cause severe damage and may prove to be fatal. In the rainy season water being a good conductor of electricity increases the chances of lightning striking a building.
