Different types of magnetism; all atoms are magnetic, including H2O, wood, air, everything!

Different types of magnetism All atoms are magnetic, including H2O, wood, air, everything!   Diamagnetism appears in all materials and is the tendency of a material to oppose an applied magnetic field, and therefore, to be repelled by a magnetic field Paramagnetic material there are unpaired electrons; an unpaired electron is free to align its…

Water Science Experiment: Is Water Magnetic?

https://www.ge.com/news/reports/water-science-experiment-water-magnetic Water, a clear liquid substance that we use every day. We use it for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. Quite ordinary don’t you think? Not quite, if you look closer. When two Hydrogen ions bond with one Oxygen ion, it creates a water molecule. But the question here is the resulted molecule magnetic? Let’s do…
