group 1 elements are paramagnetic, even then they are white in color.. why?

Metals in element form has a metallic luster and may be white or off white. Compounds of an element may be colored based on if electronic transition in such a compound falls in visible range. Even paramagnetic compounds with electronic transitions beyond visible range would look white.

group 1 element is paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electron.becoz the net magnetic dipomoment is present.i think its nt depend on its color.color is due to electronic transition.if light emission takes place in the range of visible light. it looks colored.

That's one of the reasons group 1 are called "alkali metals". They have some of the characteristics of metal, and some of alkalis (bases).

They only have one electron in their outer most shell.
