The magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom isNEET 2010 (Mains)

Options:

Answer:
D
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.
