Observe the following molecules / ions \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2, \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}, \mathrm{F}_2\). Identify correct statement.

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2, \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{~F}_2\) show diamagnetic property
  2. B \(\mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}, \mathrm{N}_2^{+}\)show paramagnetic property
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{~F}_2, \mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}\)show diamagnetic property
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}\)show paramagnetic property
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}, \mathrm{N}_2^{+}\)show paramagnetic property

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_2-(\sigma l s)^2\) \(\mathrm{H}_2\) does not have any unpaired electron hence diamagnetic in nature.…
