Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A substance with unpaired electrons will have some degree of magnetic moment, which means it will slightly attract a magnet. However, it will not be permanently magnetic as the magnetic moment is temporary and can be removed with the removal of the external magnetic field. The substance being brightly colored or nonmetallic is not necessarily related to the presence of unpaired electrons.
