  2. Platinum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum

    Platinum is a chemical element; it has symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal. Its name originates from Spanish platina, a diminutive of plata "silver". [7] [8] Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of ...

  3. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism

    The element hydrogen is virtually never called 'paramagnetic' because the monatomic gas is stable only at extremely high temperature; H atoms combine to form molecular H 2 and in so doing, the magnetic moments are lost (quenched), because of the spins pair. Hydrogen is therefore diamagnetic and the same holds true for many other elements ...

  4. Magnetochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetochemistry

    This means that the effects are additive, and a table of "diamagnetic contributions", or Pascal's constants, can be put together. [6] [7] [8] With paramagnetic compounds the observed susceptibility can be adjusted by adding to it the so-called diamagnetic correction, which is the diamagnetic susceptibility calculated with the values from the ...

  5. Diamagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

    Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; when it is the only contribution to the magnetism, the material is called diamagnetic. In paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances, the weak diamagnetic force is overcome by the attractive force of magnetic dipoles in the material.

  6. Magnetic susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility

    Magnetic susceptibility indicates whether a material is attracted into or repelled out of a magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials align with the applied field and are attracted to regions of greater magnetic field. Diamagnetic materials are anti-aligned and are pushed away, toward regions of lower magnetic fields.

  7. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    the formation of many paramagnetic compounds due to the presence of unpaired d electrons. A few compounds of main-group elements are also paramagnetic (e.g. nitric oxide, oxygen) Most transition metals can be bound to a variety of ligands, allowing for a wide variety of transition metal complexes. [34]

  8. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    Paramagnetic materials are attracted to magnetic fields, hence have a relative magnetic permeability greater than one (or, equivalently, a positive magnetic susceptibility). The magnetic moment induced by the applied field is linear in the field strength, and it is rather weak. It typically requires a sensitive analytical balance to detect the ...

  9. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    A material is paramagnetic only above its Curie temperature. Paramagnetic materials are non-magnetic when a magnetic field is absent and magnetic when a magnetic field is applied. When a magnetic field is absent, the material has disordered magnetic moments; that is, the magnetic moments are asymmetrical and not aligned.
