Answer:
- The reason that it is paramagnetic is because the oxygen molecule has two unpaired electrons.
- Electrons not only go around the atom in their orbitals, they also spin, which creates a magnetic field.
- Unpaired electrons spin in the same direction as each other, which increases the magnetic field effect.
