(a) Following is the alignment of magnetic moments of a substance when placed in a magnetic field. Identify the type of magnetism exhibited by the substance.
(b) Analysis shows that nickel oxide has formula . What frctions of nickel exist as
and
ions?
(a) Since all the magnetic moments are directed in the same direction, the substance exhibit ferromagntism.
(b) Ratio of Ni and O in Nickel oxide is,
Total nickel atoms for 100 atoms of oxygen is 98.
Let x be the number of nickel with +2 charge.
Nickel with +3 charge = 98 - x
charge of nickel = charge on oxygen
Nickel with +2 charge =
%
Nickel with +3 charge =
%
