The magnetic property of magnetic substance is associated with
  1. spin motion of the nucleus.
  2. orbital and spin motion of electrons.
  3. only orbital motion of electrons.
  4. only spin motion of electrons.

Solution

Electrons have a property called spin. This spinning creates a magnetic field with N and S poles, just as the spinning Earth has magnetic poles. If electrons in the shells of an atom spin in the same direction, the atom will exhibit a magnetic field and will respond to the forces of a magnet. If half of the electrons spin one way and the rest spin the other way, they will neutralize each other and the material will not be affected by a magnetic field.
