Differentiate between diamagnetic and paramagnetic substances.

Explanation

Differentiate between diamagnetic and paramagnetic substances are given below :
Diamagnetic Substances
(i) They are weakly repelled by the magnetic field.
(ii) These substances contain no unpaired electrons.
(iii) Examples of diamagnetic substances are `TiO_(2),H_(2)ONaCl`, benzene etc.
Paramagnetic Substances
(i) They are attracted by the magnetic field.
(ii) These substances contain unpaired electrons.
(iii) Examples if paramagnetic substances are `O_(2),Cu^(2+),Fe^(3+),Cr^(3+)` etc.
