Answers

Answered by ammu011108

Answer:

According to molecular orbital Theory (MOT), there is 1 unpaired electron in the π2px antibonding orbital and another unpaired electron in π2py antibonding orbital. As molecules containing unpaired electrons are strongly attracted by magnetic field, hence oxygen has paramagnetic nature.
