Inorganic Chemistry I
Ferromagnetism is a magnetic property where certain materials can become permanently magnetized when exposed to an external magnetic field. This occurs due to the alignment of magnetic moments in the material, which can lead to a spontaneous magnetization even without an external field. Understanding ferromagnetism is essential for explaining the behavior of coordination compounds that contain transition metals, as their unpaired electrons contribute significantly to their magnetic properties.
