Liquid oxygen remains suspended between ...

Liquid oxygen remains suspended between two pole faces of a magnet because it is

A

diamagnetic

B

antiferromagnetic

C

ferromagnetic

D

paramagnetic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Liquid oxygen has a light blue colous and is highly paramagnetic. The atomic magnetic dipoles align with an external magnetic field. This effect occure due to quantum mechanical spin as well as electron orbital angular momentum. When suspended between two pole faces of a magnet it acquries feeble magnetism hence remains suspended.
