The paramagnetism of 0, molecule is believed to be due to the presence of two electrons in 2 1 bonding t-orbitals with parallel spin 2. antibonding t-orbitals with parallel spin 3. antibonding t-orbitals with opposite spin antibonding o orbitals with parallel spin.

Answer:
The reason that it is paramagnetic is because the oxygen molecule has two unpaired electrons. Electrons not only go around the atom in their orbitals, they also spin, which creates a magnetic field. The reason that it is paramagnetic is because the oxygen molecule has two unpaired electrons.
The last two electrons go into separate, degenerate π orbitals, according to Hund's Rule. Thus, oxygen has two unpaired electrons and is paramagnetic
