You need something to be elongated in order to align them.

Am I wrong? Where?

Atoms are not really "balls" you know. They are mostly
vacuum with the electrons captive at certain locations
in the volume detemined by the whole atom. Electrons
keep their individual characteristics, including their
spin orientation, which can only be anti-parallel for
orbital filling and for covalent bound (between atoms)

That "vacvum" /is/ the elèctròn. And Tom Roberts is wrong; magnetic
dipole moments and polarisations prove the elèctric current of
elèctròns under the misnomer "spin", as spin has no barýcentric
displacement. Such a charge has trend (intrinsic) and whorl (orbital)
displacements or currends, which are a hýbrid of classic and quantal
cinematics. As do the allotropic/isomeric peanut-, ball-, and donut-
frames of quarks' currends in nucleòns prove their extension.

In a permanent magnet with d-orbitals, you can wittan the elèctròns as
a whorly-clover bola. As it looks lik the probability-plots of
charges (orbitals) as seen in books apply only for the elèctric
componend of the mote, one should see no qualm with havvan orbitals
other than the s whip about the nucleus and linger abroad, whereas in
the s-orbital the elèctròn whips abroad and lingers at the nucleus.
As charges make leaps, their orbits get bigger and thus more polar or
magnetic. In neutral atoms, these poles are quencht with charges
below, so there's a compromise between small and big atoms for the
strongest magnets--at least in the same block.
