Question

Molecule Is Paramagnetic Due To The Presence Of________ A) two unpaired electrons in anti-bonding MO, B) One unpaired electron in anti-bonding Mo C) two unpaired electron in bonding Mo D) one unpaired electron in bonding MO

Answer 1

Answer:

option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

(1) O2 is paramagnetic due to presence of 2 unpaired electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital.

(2) Sulphur in vapour state partly exist as S2 and exhibits paramagnetism due to presence of 2 unpaired electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital like O2.
