The magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom is

Options

  1. Amuch greater than one
  2. Bone
  3. Cbetween zero and one
  4. Dequal to zero

Correct answer

D. equal to zero

Step-by-step solution

Atoms which have paired electrons have the magnetic moment zero. Because diamagnetism is the intrinsic property of every material and it is generated due to mutual interaction between the applied magnetic field and orbital motion of electrons. So, the magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom is equal to zero.
