The simplest way is to write the electronic configuration of each atom, if they have unpaired electrons (i.e. singly occupied orbitals) then they are paramagnetic, otherwise they are dia-.

You can also look into molecular orbital theory (and follow the same concept), but you'd need to know the orbital arrangements of all of these compounds (though i'm sure you can all of this information online).
