Diamagnetic properties arise from the realignment of the electron orbits under the influence of an external magnetic field. Most elements in the periodic table, including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic. Paramagnetic metals have a small and positive susceptibility to magnetic fields.These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed.Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron orbits caused by the external magnetic field.hese materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed.

Diamagnetism refers to materials that are not affected by a magnetic field. Paramagnetism refers to materials like aluminum or platinum which become magnetized in a magnetic field but their magnetism disappears when the field is removed. Ferromagnetism refers to materials (such as iron and nickel) that can retain their magnetic properties when the magnetic field is removed. Ferro is the Latin word for iron (this is the reason behind the atomic symbol of iron- Fe), a material which displays strong magnetic properties.
