Why are most of the ionic crystals Diamagnetism ?? Ionic crystals are those crystals that are related to ionic bonds of atoms such as sodium chloride NACL
Most ionic crystals exhibit diamagnetism due to the presence of paired electrons in their atomic structure. These paired electrons create opposing magnetic fields, resulting in a cancellation of the overall magnetic moment.
The cause of diamagnetism in ionic crystals is the presence of delocalized electrons. These electrons are free to move throughout the crystal lattice and experience a repulsive force when exposed to an external magnetic field.
No, not all ionic crystals exhibit diamagnetism. Some may exhibit paramagnetism or ferromagnetism, depending on the arrangement of their ions and electrons in the crystal lattice.
The structure of an ionic crystal can greatly impact its diamagnetic properties. For example, a crystal with a more tightly packed lattice structure may exhibit stronger diamagnetic effects compared to a crystal with a less compact structure.
Yes, the diamagnetic properties of an ionic crystal can be altered by changing its temperature or applying an external magnetic field. At high temperatures, some ionic crystals may exhibit paramagnetism or even ferromagnetism due to changes in the arrangement of their ions and electrons.
