Question

If you were asked to describe metals and magnetism you could say

non–paired electrons spin in opposite directions in all metals, creating a magnetic field.

metals are magnets because they have more electrons than non–magnetic materials.

metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.

the electrons in some metals pair up to create a magnetic field.

Please only answer if you are 100% sure!! C or D?

Answer 1

The answer is C.  Since you have to have electrons spinning the same direction to form a magnetic field.

Answer 2

C . Metals can become magnetic if they have spinning electrons that create magnetic field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnetism is the result of motion of electrons that causes attractive or repulsive forces between different objects.

All electrons in an atoms revolve around the nucleus, but they also spin of their axis. This creates a magnetic dipole and behaves like a tiny magnet.

If maximum number of electrons spin in same direction, a strong magnetic field is produced.

Hence metal can become magnetic if they have maximum electrons spinning in a single direction.
