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

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.
