anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure if this is an adequate answer but I researched a bit and found this.
"It means the atoms are lined up in such a way as to create a magnetic field loop that exits from one side or end of the substance and reenters at the opposite side or end."

if a substance is said to be magnetic, it is simply attracted by a magnet. if it is paramagnetic, it is repelled by a magnet.

anonymous · Answer

Magnetic properties of a substance depends on the structure of its valence electrons. It has something to do with orbitals so I suggest you study about molecular geometry of a compound/substance first

It's the way a substance's atoms fit together, being pulled and pushed from all sides equally. exists in metallic bonds
