The pairs of species of oxygen and their
magnetic behaviours are noted below. Which of
the following presents the correct description?
- A- Both diamagnetic
- B- Both paramagnetic
- CO, - Both paramagnetic
- D- Both paramagnetic
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
O2+ = KKσ2s2 σ2s2 σ2pz2 (π2px2
= π2py2) (π2px1)
O2 = KKσ2s2 σ2s2 σ2pz2
(π2px2 = π2py2)
(π2px
1 = π2py1)
O2 and O2+
contain unpaired electron in π
ABMO so paramagnetic.
