Among the following species N _ 2 , N _ 2 ^ + , N _ 2 ^ - , N _ 2 ^...

Among the following species N2,N2+,N2−,N22−,O2,O2+,O2−,O22−{N}_{2}, {N}_{2}^{+}, {N}_{2}^{-}, {N}_{2}^{2 -}, {O}_{2}, {O}_{2}^{+}, {O}_{2}^{-}, {O}_{2}^{2 -} the number of species showing diamagnetism is

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

The molecules with unpaired electrons are paramagnetic and molecules with all electrons paired are diamagnetic. In general molecules with an even number of electrons (except 1010 and 1616 electrons) are diamagnetic

{N214e−diamagnetic\begin{cases}{N}_{2} & 14{e}^{-}\end{cases}diamagnetic

{N2+13e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{N}_{2}^{+} & 13{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{N2−15e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{N}_{2}^{-} & 15{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{N22−16e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{N}_{2}^{2 -} & 16{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{O216e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{O}_{2} & 16{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{O2+15e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{O}_{2}^{+} & 15{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{O2−17e−paramagnetic\begin{cases}{O}_{2}^{-} & 17{e}^{-}\end{cases}paramagnetic

{O22−18e−diamagnetic\begin{cases}{O}_{2}^{2 -} & 18{e}^{-}\end{cases}diamagnetic
