Which of the following molecules are expected to exhibit diamagnetic behaviour?
- (A)N2✓ Correct
- (B)O2
- (C)S2
- (D)C2✓ Correct
Answer: (A), (D)
Solution
Diamagnetic = all electrons paired. By MO theory (bond order 3) and (bond order 2, ) have no unpaired electrons — diamagnetic. and have two unpaired electrons in — paramagnetic. Hence (A) and (D).
