8. Why do the magnetic properties of actinide is more difficult to explain than their respecting lanthanide? Determine the electronic configuration of Pu+3 and Am+3 ions? Why do Pu+3 and Am+3 ions show analogous magnetic properties to Sm+3 and Eu+3?

Step 1
This results in a stronger interaction between the 5f electrons and the ligand field, leading to more complex magnetic behavior. Pu(III) and Am(III) ions show analogous magnetic properties to Sm(II) and Eu(II) because they have similar electronic configurations. Show more…

Fe, Co, and Ni are ferromagnetic, whereas Ru, Ir, and Pt are diamagnetic. Explain why magnetic metals are found only among the 3d and 4f elements. Why are Sc and Ti, which are also 3d elements, diamagnetic?

Considering the electronic configuration of the five ferromagnetic elements, justify why they are ferromagnetic. Why are some other elements in the same columns of the periodic table not ferromagnetic? Do you expect these other elements to be paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
