    The magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom is               

    A)  much greater than one

    B)  one

    C)  between zero and one

    D)  equal to zero

    Correct 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.
