Chapter 16, Problem 16.26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnetic field strength that is required to achieve resonance between the two spin states of an electron on a compound is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Electron spin resonance is the method to study the materials with an unpaired electron. An unpaired electron absorbs the microwave radiation under the strong magnetic field. The difference between two energy levels is calculated by the formula shown below.

$\Delta E_{\text{mag}}=g_{\text{e}}\cdot {\mu }_{\text{B}}\cdot B$
