Hey There,

What are diamagnetic substance?
Have you heard about orbitals, of course you do. Now each orbital can contain two electrons with opposite spin. Orbitals are filled by Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.
According to which first all the orbitals are filled with electrons having same spin and then pairing is done. So in such case some of the electrons are left without any opposite spin counter parts and those electrons are known as unpaired electrons.
The substances containing unpaired electrons are known as paramagnetic substance.
And diamagnetic substance are those substance having no unpaired electrons.
Helium contains one shell with two electrons both of which are in 1s sub-shell that contains one orbital.
As told earlier an orbital contains two electrons this in case of helium all the electrons are paired thus it's diamagnetic.
Hope it helps ^_^

Diamagnetic substances contain no unpaired electrons in their atoms
Example : Helium
Explantion:
Helium Symbol - He with atomic number -2
Electronic configuration-1s²
here s orbital contains 2 electrons which is the maximum capacity that an s orbital can hold.and both the electrons in s orbital are paired.
Conclusion:
As helium has no unpaired electrons --- It is diamagnetic in nature.
