JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Which one of the following molecules is paramagnetic?
- A \(N_2\)
- B \(NO\)
- C \(CO\)
- D \(O_3\)
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…
