No this is false because diamond is a diamagnetic material. Diamond doesn't conduct the electricity that's why there no chance to create any magnetic field. So that's why it is a diamagnetic material. And diamond is the compound of the carbon but carbon conduct the electricity except for diamond there is no other compound which doesn't conduct electricity.

Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby certain materials are attracted by an externally applied magnetic field. In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields.

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.
In contrast, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials are attracted by a magnetic field.
In contrast, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials are attracted by a magnetic field.

Paramagnetic materials are attracted by external magnetic fields whereas diamagnetic materials are repelled by that magnetic field.
Paramagnetic materials have at least one unpaired electron, but diamagnetic materials have all their electrons paired.

As said above diamond forms covalent bond, so it does not have any free electrons to exhibit any magnetic or electric properties so, even though some carbon compounds conduct electricity diamond does't. So diamond is not an para magnetic material.

In reply to Sujan, if paramagnetism materials are attracted by an externally applied magnetic field,then, can you tell me an example?
What are diamagnetic materials? Example?
Can we call a magnetic field when 2 magnets attract each other?

Can you please explain it correctly, carbon can conduct electricity then why diamond cannot conduct electricity?

Diamond doesn't have free electrons to carry the electricity so there is no chance to create magnetic field.

Diamond is generate lite amount of light so the para magnetic will not emit energy thus it is diamagnetic.

Diamond has no unpaired of electrons and diamond can form only covalent bonds. So it is a right answer.
