according to its molecular orbital diagram ,
ClO2 is paramagnetic as it has odd number of electrons. Cl has 17 and O2 have 16 electrons. Total is 33 which is odd. Which is more unpaired electrons in orbitals then that will show paramagnetic, which is very less unpaired or fully fiilled orbital that is diamagnetic .
