In order to study a magnetic principle of carbon based materials, multiple spin state of zigzag edge modified graphene molecules are analyzed by the first principle density functional theory to select suitable modification element. Radical carbon modified C64H17 shows that the highest spin state is most stable, which arises from two up-spin's tetrahedral molecular orbital configuration at zigzag edge. In contrast, oxygen modified C59O5H17 show the lowest spin state to be most stable due to four spins cancellation at oxygen site. Boron modified C59B5H22 have no {\pi}-molecular orbit at boron site to bring stable molecular spin state to be the lowest one. Whereas, C59N5H2 have two {\pi}-electrons, where spins cancel each other to give the stable lowest spin state. Silicon modified C59Si5H27 and Phosphorus modified C59P5H22 show curved molecular geometry due to a large atom insertion at zigzag site, which also bring complex spin distribution. Radical carbon and dihydrogenated carbon modification are promising candidates for designing carbon-based magnetic materials.
