If the atoms of a material possess a non-zero permanent magnetic moment, then the material

Options

Amust be diamagnetic
Bmust be ferromagnetic
Cmay be paramagnetic
Dmust be paramagnetic

Correct answer

C. may be paramagnetic

Step-by-step solution

Atoms of diamagnetic materials have zero permanent magnetic moment.

Atoms of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials possess a non-zero permanent magnetic moment.

Therefore, if the atoms of a material possess a non-zero permanent magnetic moment, the material can be either paramagnetic or ferromagnetic.

Thus, the material may be paramagnetic.
