The magnetism of CO2 is diamagnetism and a magnetic force directs CO2 gas towards lower magnetic fields. However, oxygen gas, which is paramagnetic, has a magnetic force that is more than two 160 times greater than that of CO2.

O2 is attracted by a magnetic field. There are a number of oxygen analyzers which use the unique paramagnetic properties of oxygen. Paramagnetism is strongly temperature-dependent.
