Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
Because their constituent particles do not have any unpaired electrons.The magneitc moment possessed by an electrons with spin in one direction is cancelled by that with spin in the opposite directions. Examples of diamagnetic materials are benzene ,`NaCl` and `TiO_(2)`.

Paramagnetic solids are "__________" by an external magnetic field

Ferromagnetic solids are……. By an external magnetic field

Depict the behaviour of magnetic field lines when (i) diamagnetic and (ii) a paramagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field. Mention briefly the properties of these materials which explain this distinguishing behaviour.

Assertion:Paramagneic substances get poorly attracted in magnetic field. Reason: Because magnetic dipoles are aligned along external magnetic field weakly.
