ions and isopopes of Fe (1 Viewer)

[physandchemnerd]

do ions and isotopes of Fe still produce magnetic feilds?

They only produce magnetic fields when they are magnetised. Ordinary Fe and compounds containing Fe aren't usually magnetised, off the top of my head.

Their magnetism comes from a pair of electrons (deep-ish) within the electron shells. Thus, it possesses a magnetic moment regardless of ion/isotope.

To get a permanent field you'll still need to align them though.
