What is the correct order of magnetic strength among the following elements?
a) Fe > Co > Ni > Cu
b) Fe > Ni > Co > Cu
c) Cu > Ni > Co > Fe
d) Cu > Fe > Ni > Co
Answer : a) Fe > Co > Ni > Cu
Explanation :
Magnetic strength of the element depends on the no.of unpaired electron present in its shell.
The more unpaired electron the more Magnetic strength.
Hence, the correct order of magnetic strength is: Fe > Co > Ni > Cu.
a) Fe >Co > Ni > Cu
