Diamagnetic shielding refers to the ability of a material to create a magnetic field in the opposite direction to an external magnetic field, thus reducing the overall magnetic field within the material. This shielding effect helps protect sensitive equipment or materials from the influence of external magnetic fields. Materials with diamagnetic properties include superconductors and some metals like bismuth and copper.

Calcium is diamagnetic.
Tungsten is diamagnetic.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is diamagnetic, meaning it is not attracted to a magnetic field.
An atom that is only weakly affected by a magnetic field is called diamagnetic. Diamagnetic atoms have all their electron spins paired, leading to weak repulsion when placed in a magnetic field.
No, argon is not paramagnetic. Paramagnetic materials have unpaired electrons, which argon does not have. Argon is a noble gas with a full electron shell, making it diamagnetic.
