Question

which of the following is paramagnetic?
h2 o2 li2 n2

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:Paramagnetic species contains unpaired electrons in their molecular orbital electronic configuration. Thus, among the given species only O-2 is paramagnetic.

Answer 2

$O_2}$  are paramagnetic.

• Oxygen molecule is paramagnetic in nature

• Because of the presence of two unpaired electrons.
• If we look at the oxygen molecule, the two atoms of oxygen form a molecule. Hence, this molecule will show paramagnetic properties.
• Oxygen is a paramagnetic gas, which means that it is attracted by a magnetic field.
• There are a number of oxygen analyzers which use the unique paramagnetic properties of oxygen.

Hence the $O_2}$ is paramagnetic
