Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct as paramagnetic materials are attracted to magnetic fields due to the presence of unpaired electrons which align with the external magnetic field.
Statement 2 is incorrect, as an atom with no unpaired electrons cannot be ferromagnetic. Ferromagnetic substances require unpaired electrons with parallel spins to generate a magnetic moment.
Statement 3 is correct as atoms with one or more unpaired electrons exhibit magnetic properties and are paramagnetic.
