Evidence supports that certain non-metals interact with magnetic fields, such as liquid oxygen being paramagnetic and pyrolytic carbon being strongly diamagnetic.

The analysis

Paper [1] provides classical and historical evidence confirming that liquid oxygen possesses magnetic susceptibility. Paper [5] demonstrates that pyrolytic carbon exhibits strong diamagnetism, leading to magnetic repulsion (levitation) in a magnetic field. Both examples correctly illustrate non-metals interacting with magnetic fields.
