Which out of Co(II) salts and Cd(II) salts, is attracted or repelled by the magnetic field?

Options:

Answer:
A

Co(II) has unpaired electrons (paramagnetic), so its salts are attracted to a magnetic field. Cd(II) has all paired electrons (diamagnetic), so its salts are weakly repelled by a magnetic field. Therefore, option A is correct.
