Given below are two statements.
Statement I : $O_{2}, {Cu}^{2 +}$ and ${Fe}^{3 +}$ are weakly attracted by magnetic field and are magnetized in the same direction as magnetic field.
Statement II : $NaCl$ and $H_{2} O$ are weakly magnetized in opposite direction to magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer form the options given below

Question

Given below are two statements.

Statement I : $O_{2}, {Cu}^{2 +}$ and ${Fe}^{3 +}$ are weakly attracted by magnetic field and are magnetized in the same direction as magnetic field.

Statement II : $NaCl$ and $H_{2} O$ are weakly magnetized in opposite direction to magnetic field.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer form the options given below

O 2 , Cu 2 + and Fe 3 + all have unpaired electrons so, they are paramagnetic, O 2 &#160; has &#160; two &#160; unpaired &#160; electrons &#160; according &#160; to &#160; MOT , Cu 2 + &#160; has &#160; d 9 &#160; configuration &#160; so , &#160; one &#160; unpaired &#160; electron . Fe + 3 &#160; has &#160; d 5 &#160; configuration &#160; so , &#160; 5 &#160; unpaired &#160; electrons . &#8756; Weakly attracted by magnetic field. NaCl and H 2 O does not have any unpaired electrons so they are diamagnetic, &#8756; Weakly repelled by magnetic field.

Given below are two statements. Statement I : O 2 , Cu 2 + and Fe 3 + are weakly attracted by magnetic field…
