Which one of the following species is paramagnetic? which one of the following species is paramagnetic? a. mg b. zn c. cd2+ d. ag e. nb5+

A) Mg ( Magnesium)

Explanation:

Paramagnetic substance or elements are substance with net dipole moment as a result of unpaired electrons.

There magnetization is not permanent like ferromagnetic substances. They tend to be weakly attracted and become magnetized in a magnetic field. Some other examples include Aluminum, Calcium, potassium, Sodium and so on.

Ag

Explanation: Paramagnetic substances are the substances which have unpaired electrons.(odd number valence electrons)

Let us understand with the help of an example:

Magnesium electronic configuration is 2, 8, 2. Even number valence electrons. Not paramagnetic.

Ag is paramagnetic. Atomic number 47

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.

the answer would be b i believe
