← ScienceWhich atomic behavior causes strong magnetism in neodymium magnets?
A)Spin alignment in unfilled shells✓
B)Nuclear magnetic resonance saturation
C)Ionic crystal lattice distortions
D)Enhanced electron thermal conductivity
💡 Explanation
Parallel spin alignment within the unfilled 4f electron shell results in a large magnetic moment from Hund's rules, therefore promoting ferromagnetism, rather than other phenomena; because the spin orientation stabilizes atomic order through direct exchange interaction.
