Is Cl20 and Br20 paramagnetic or diamagnetic .Explain ???!
Answers
Answer:
Paramagnetism is due to the presence of at least one unpaired electron in the molecule.
The molecules of simple paramagnetic compounds usually contain odd numbers of electrons (odd-electron molecules). When the total number of electrons in the molecule is odd, at least one electron has to remain unpaired. Thus, simple compounds such as NO, NO2 nd ClO2 are paramagnetic as the total numbers of electrons in their molecules are odd (NO-15, NO2-23 and ClO2 -33 electrons).
Though NO2 is paramagnetic, its dimer, N2O4, is diamagnetic. The two unpaired electrons in the two NO2 units get paired while forming the dimer, and so N2O4 is diamagnetic with even number of electrons.
ClO2 does not form its dimer, unlike NO2.
