  2. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism

    Therefore, a simple rule of thumb is used in chemistry to determine whether a particle (atom, ion, or molecule) is paramagnetic or diamagnetic: [3] if all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic; if it has unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic.

  3. Magnetochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetochemistry

    With one unpaired electron μ eff values range from 1.8 to 2.5 μ B and with two unpaired electrons the range is 3.18 to 3.3 μ B. Note that low-spin complexes of Fe 2+ and Co 3+ are diamagnetic. Another group of complexes that are diamagnetic are square-planar complexes of d 8 ions such as Ni 2+ and Rh + and Au 3+.

  4. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    Another property we can observe by examining molecular orbital diagrams is the magnetic property of diamagnetic or paramagnetic. If all the electrons are paired, there is a slight repulsion and it is classified as diamagnetic. If unpaired electrons are present, it is attracted to a magnetic field, and therefore paramagnetic.

  5. Pascal's constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_constants

    In magnetism, Pascals’ constants are numbers used in the evaluation of the magnetic susceptibilities of coordination compounds.The magnetic susceptibility of a compound is the sum of the paramagnetic susceptibility associated with the unpaired electrons and the opposing diamagnetic susceptibility associated with electron pairs. [1]

  6. Unpaired electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unpaired_electron

    In chemistry, an unpaired electron is an electron that occupies an orbital of an atom singly, rather than as part of an electron pair. Each atomic orbital of an atom (specified by the three quantum numbers n, l and m) has a capacity to contain two electrons ( electron pair ) with opposite spins .

  7. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_bond_theory

    For example, in the case of the F 2 molecule, the F−F bond is formed by the overlap of p z orbitals of the two F atoms, each containing an unpaired electron. Since the nature of the overlapping orbitals are different in H 2 and F 2 molecules, the bond strength and bond lengths differ between H 2 and F 2 molecules.

  8. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    If the energy required to pair two electrons is greater than Δ, the energy cost of placing an electron in an e g, high spin splitting occurs. The crystal field splitting energy for tetrahedral metal complexes (four ligands) is referred to as Δ tet , and is roughly equal to 4/9Δ oct (for the same metal and same ligands).

  9. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six electrons, respectively. Electronic configurations describe each electron as moving independently in an orbital, in an average field created by the nuclei and all the other
