JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Which one of the following molecules is paramagnetic?

  1. A \(N_2\)
  2. B \(NO\)
  3. C \(CO\)
  4. D \(O_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(NO\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The molecular orbital configuration of the molecules given is Total no. of electrons in \(NO\) \(=7(N)+8(O)=15\) Hence \(E.C.\) of \(NO\) \(KK{[\sigma 2s]^2}{[{\sigma ^*}(2s)]^2}{[\sigma 2{p_z}]^2}\) \({[\pi (2{p_x})]^2}[\pi {(2{p_y})^2}]{[{\pi ^*}(2{p_x})]^1}\) Due to presence…
