Amongst the following the number of oxide(s) which are paramagnetic in nature is

Na2O,KO2,NO2,N2O,ClO2,NO,SO2,Cl2O{Na}_{2}O, {KO}_{2}, {NO}_{2}, {N}_{2}O, {ClO}_{2}, NO, {SO}_{2}, {Cl}_{2}O

Correct answer

4

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic properties of a substance can be determined by examining its electron configuration: If it has unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic and if all electrons are paired, the substance is then diamagnetic.

KO2{KO}_{2} is potassium superoxide. There is one unpaired electron in anti-bonding molecular orbital of superoxide. Potassium superoxide is paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electron.

NO2,ClO2,NO{NO}_{2}, {ClO}_{2}, NO are odd electron species. Hence, they are paramagnetic.

The other are monoxide and dioxide contain paired electrons, so they will show diamagnetic behaviour.
