Which of the following molecules(s) show/s paramagnetic behavior? (A) O ₂ (B) N ₂ (C) F ₂ (D) S ₂ (E) Cl ₂ Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AB only
- BA & C only
- CA & E only
- DA & D only
Correct answer
D. A & D only
Step-by-step solution
array lcc & & No. of unpaired e ⁻ (A) & O ₂ & 2 (B) & N ₂ & 0 (C) & F ₂ & 0 (D) & S ₂ & 2 (E) & Cl ₂ & 0 array If species contain unpaired electron than it is paramagnetic. So A & D are paramagnetic.
