-Being covalent is not a reason for a compound being either paramagnetic or diamagnetic.Paramagnetism is a result of having one or more unpaired electrons, and not the degree of ionic character in the bond.Report Abuse -Nickel is a magnetic metal.......
explain why a sample of nickel chloride is attracted into a magnetic field, whereas a sample of solid zinc chloride is not.
please answer if you have any ideas. thanks in advance<3

NiCl2 is an ionic compound with unpaired electrons, which makes it paramagnetic.

ZnCl2 is a covalent compound, making it diamagnetic.

Being "covalent" is not a reason for a compound being either paramagnetic or diamagnetic. Paramagnetism is a result of having one or more unpaired electrons, and not the degree of ionic character in the bond.
