Which species does not exhibit paramagnetism?
- AN2+
- BO2
- CCO
- DNO
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Those species which have unpaired electrons are called paramagnetic species.
And those species which have no unpaired electrons are called diamagnetic species.
(A) N2+ has 13 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of N2+
=
Here 1 unpaired electrons present, so it is paramagnetic.
(B) Molecular orbital configuration of (17 electrons) is
Here 1 unpaired electrons present, so it is paramagnetic.
(A) CO has 14 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of CO
=
Here 0 unpaired electrons present, so it is diamagnetic.
(D) Molecular orbital configuration of NO (15 electrons) is
Here 1 unpaired electrons present, so it is paramagnetic.
