MAGNETISM AND QUANTUM MECHANICS; QUANTUM CHEMISTRY
Let's Give This A Thougt.....
Talking about the Transition Metals, the elements with d-orbitals that aren't fully filled which gives their interesting property, (PARA)-MAGNETISM. It is understood that the unpaired electrons at the d-orbitals are responsible for this property which is right but how? 😕
Actually, it's basically due to the spinning action of these electron plus the influence of the Earth magnetic field creating a MAGNETIC MOMENT. However, paired electrons cannot exhibit this because the two electrons are spinning in opposite directions in such a way, they are canceling out the energy of each other to have zero....thereby, being DIAMAGNETIC
But, this is not what actually caught my attention....I got interested when we moved further to MAGNETIC DILUTION where we have we have FERROMAGNETISM in which we have electrons at two sides without a diamagmetic ligand separating them....making them to give impression like they are more than the total number of those electrons, therefore....making the magnetic ability to be damn crazy.
So, here I sense some physics...there's a sign of quantum effect there called ENTANGLEMENT. Those electrons are actually interacting at a distance and that's a beauty! 😘😍
