Which of the following molecules(s) show/s paramagnetic behavior?...

Which of the following molecules(s) show/s paramagnetic behavior?
(A) O2\mathrm{O}_2
(B) N2\mathrm{N}_2
(C) F2\mathrm{F}_2
(D) S2\mathrm{S}_2
(E) Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AB only
  2. BA & C only
  3. CA & E only
  4. DA & D only

Correct answer

D. A & D only

Step-by-step solution

$\begin{array}{lcc} <br />& & \text{ No. of unpaired } \mathrm{e}^{-} \\<br>\text{(A) } & \mathrm{O}_2 & 2 \\<br>\text{ (B) } & \mathrm{N}_2 & 0 \\<br>\text{ (C) } & \mathrm{F}_2 & 0 \\<br>\text{ (D) } & \mathrm{S}_2 & 2 \\<br>\text{ (E) } & \mathrm{Cl}_2 & 0<br />\end{array}
If species contain unpaired electron than it is paramagnetic.
So A \& D are paramagnetic.$
