Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) ii, iv

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular orbital configuration for (i) \(\mathrm{B}_2(10)=\sigma 1 s^2, \sigma^* 1 s^2, \sigma 2 s^2, \sigma^* 2 s^2, \pi p_x^1 \approx \pi p_y^1\) Two unpaired electrons, paramagnetic. (ii) \(\mathrm{N}_2(14)\)…
