(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,

\frac{Ni}{O}= \frac{0.98}{1.00}=\frac{98}{100}

Total nickel atoms for 100 atoms of oxygen is 98.

Let x be the number of nickel with +2 charge.

\therefore Nickel with +3 charge = 98 - x

charge of nickel = charge on oxygen

\therefore 2\times x + (+3)(98-x)= 2\times 100

     2 x +294-3x= 200

    -x = 200 - 294= -94

    x = 94

\therefore Nickel with +2 charge = \frac{94}{98}=96%

\therefore Nickel with +3 charge = 98-94=4 out of 98 =\frac{4}{98}=4%
