Question:

All materials are magnetic, can you explain?

All materials exhibit diamagnetism. Those that exhibit paramagnetism or ferromagnetism overpower their diamagnetic natures.

Answer:

The diamagnetic effect is very weak. That is where all the spins are paired up. The paramagnetic effect is much stronger . and the ferromagnetic effect is an aggregate effect of macroscopic spin domains, so it's huge.
