Magnesium is diamagnetic not paramagnetic. I keep finding the same error across different sites. 147.70.17.112 (talk) 22:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you mention the source that says this? Would be great. -DePiep (talk) 23:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌, because this is not an error. Magnesium indeed has a small positive magnetic susceptibility in the metallic state and is hence paramagnetic. The "unpaired-electron" rule only really works for ions (you'll have a hard time explaining how metallic Tl and Bi are diamagnetic); while Mg2+ is indeed diamagnetic, the configuration of Mg atoms in the metal is more like [Ne]3s3p than [Ne]3s2.
