Diamagnetic or paramagnetic
« on: October 13, 2013, 03:50:45 PM »
Hi,

is NaNi(IO6) diamagnetic or paramagnetic.

Hopefully someone can help me. I`m really not into chemistry and have no idea how I possibly could solve this problem.

Diamagnetic metals are repelled by magnets whereas paramagnetic metals are attracted to magnets.Diamagnetic is when a metal has no unpaired electrons whereas paramagnetic is when there are unpaired electrons. You should draw out NaNi(IO6) and workout if it has unpaired electrons or not.
