Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Diamagnetic materials are solids with all paired electron resulting in no permanent net magnetic moment per atom. 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. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum. Ferromagnetic materials have a large and positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field. They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic domains.

Paramegnetic compounds have unpaired electrons, and are thus magnetic (attracted or repelled by a magnetic field), whereas diamagnetic compounds are not affected by magnetic fields and do not have unpaired electrons.

Diamagnetic: a material which become magnetic only in the presence of an external magnetic field. The magnetic permeability is under 1.

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field.

Paramagnetic: a material which become magnetic only in the presence of an external magnetic field. The magnetic permeability is over 1.

Paramagnetic materials are attracted by a magnetic field.

Ferromagnetism is the ability to become magnetised. Diamagnetic is repulsive to magets (this is when it has all paired electrons. Paramagnetic creates a attractive field due to unpaired electrons.

Elemental iron is diamagnetic, this means that all the electrons of the frontier orbitals of iron are paired. However if you were heat up iron you would be able to promote an electron the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. This would result in unpaired electrons and make iron paramagnetic, effectively removing it's magnetism.

A paramagnetic object is attracted to the magnetic field while a diamagnetic object will have a repulsive force to the field

OH, bot as the anion OH- or the covalently bound group -OH has no unpaired unectrons so is diamagnetic. O2 is paramagnetic as it has unpaired electrons.
