A trickle of liquid oxygen is deflected by a magnetic field, illustrating its paramagnetism. Source: Internet

For materials that show some other form of magnetism (such as ferromagnetism or paramagnetism ), the diamagnetic contribution becomes negligible. Source: Internet

Thus, now the spins would be parallel ( ferromagnetism in a solid, paramagnetism in two-atomic gases). Source: Internet

The Bohr–van Leeuwen theorem proves that there cannot be any diamagnetism or paramagnetism in a purely classical system. Source: Internet

In pure paramagnetism, the dipoles do not interact with one another and are randomly oriented in the absence of an external field due to thermal agitation, resulting in zero net magnetic moment. Source: Internet

The materials do show an ordering temperature above which the behavior reverts to ordinary paramagnetism (with interaction). Source: Internet
