Question: Which of the following is paramagnetic

[DPMT 2005]

Options:

A) N2

B) C2

C) N2+

D) O22

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

N2:KKσ(2s)2σ(2s)2π(2px)2π(2py)2σ(2pz)2 (diamagnetic)

C2:KKσ(2s)2σ(2s)2π(2px)2π(2py)2 (diamagnetic)

N2+:KKσ(2s)2σ(2s)2π(2px)2π(2py)2σ(2pz)2 (paramagnetic)

O22:KKσ(2s)2σ(2s)2σ(2pz)2π(2px)2π(2py)2 π(2px)2π(2py)2 (diamagnetic)
