Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 365

Question: Which of the following is paramagnetic

Options:

A) B2

B) C2

C) N2

D) F2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Paramagnetic property arise through unpaired electron. B2 molecule have the unpaired electron so it show paramagnetism.

B2 σ1s2σ1s2,σ2s2σ2s2,π2px1=π2py1(2 unpaired electron),

C2 σ1s2σ1s2,σ2s2σ2s2,π2px2.π2py2(No unpaired electron),

N2 σ1s2σ1s2,σ2s2σ2s2,σ2px2,π2py2π2pz2(No unpaired electron),

F2 σs2,σ1s2,σ2s2,σ2s2,σ2px2,π2py2,π2pz2,(No unpaired electron),

π2py2,π2pz2

So only B2 exist unpaired electron and show the paramagnetism.
