Is Water Diamagnetic Or Paramagnetic?
The Diamagnetism and paramagnetism depends upon the presence of an unpaired/paired e- in d-orbital.Thus when we consider the valence bond theory of water in a complex like [Fe(H2o)cl]+ or other it shows diamagnetism because of presence of paired electron.Hence water is diamagnetic.It repells in the presence of an magnetic field.
