Solution

  1. Diamagnetic substances: A substance that has only paired electrons is said to be a diamagnetic substance.
  2. Ozone: The ozone layer is very important to protect us from ultraviolet radiation. The formula of ozone is O3.
  3. In an ozone molecule there is no unpaired electron unlike oxygen ( having an unpaired electron in oxygen, oxygen is paramagnetic), so ozone is diamagnetic in nature.

Hence, O3is diamagnetic in nature.
