Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by magnetic field.

Ferromagnetic substances cannot be magnetised permanently.

The domains in anti-ferromagnetic substances are oppositely oriented with respect to each other.

Pairing of electrons cancels their magnetic moment in the diamagnetic substances.

Bigger ions form the close packed structure.

Smaller ions occupy either the tetrahedral or the octahedral voids depending upon their size.

Occupation of all the voids is not necessary.

The fraction of octahedral or tetrahedral voids occupied depends upon the radii of the ions occupying the voids.

all the domains get oriented in the direction of magnetic field.

all the domains get oriented in the direction opposite to the direction of magnetic field.

domains get oriented randomly.

domains are not affected by magnetic field.
