Which one of the following is not a ferromagnetic material?
General KnowledgeChemistry
- ACobalt
- BIron
- CSilver
- DFerric chloride
Explanation
Ferromagnetic materials (iron, cobalt, nickel) show strong spontaneous magnetization with aligned domains. Silver is diamagnetic - weakly repelled by magnetic fields and retaining no magnetization - so it is not ferromagnetic. Strictly speaking, ferric chloride (FeCl3) is paramagnetic rather than ferromagnetic too, but silver is the intended answer in every standard key for this question.
