Options:

A) O2

B) NO

C) Both A and B

D) CN

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

O2,(2×8+1=17) has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic. All the remaining molecules/ions, i.e., CN(6+7+1=14) diamagnetic NO(7+8=15) has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic.
