Answer: Yes.
Explanation:
Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [<em>eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals</em> minus (-) <em>four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals</em>]/2 in the electron configuration.
Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).
The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it <u>paramagnetic</u>. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.
