Which among the following elements does NOT exhibit ferromagnetic properties?

Which among the following elements does NOT exhibit ferromagnetic properties?
  1. Cr
  2. Fe
  3. Co
  4. Ni

Solution

despite having unpaired electrons, the specific electron configuratior crystal structure, and magnetic interactions in chromium prevent it from exhibiting ferromagnetism. Instead, it shows antiferromagnetic behavior under certain conditions.
