Which of the following compounds is metallic and ferromagnetic?

1. VO2
2. MnO2
3. TiO2
4. CrO2

Correct answer: CrO2

Solution

CrO2 is a metallic compound that exhibits ferromagnetism due to the presence of chromium in a specific oxidation state, allowing for unpaired electrons that contribute to magnetic ordering.
