4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
medium
Which of the following species exhibits the diamagnetic behaviour ?
A
$NO$
B
$O_2^{2-}$
C
$O_2^+$
D
$O_2$
(AIEEE-2007)
Solution
$\quad O_{2}^{2}$ has $18$ electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of $O_{2}^{2-}$ is
$\sigma_{1 s^{2}} \sigma_{1 s^{2}}^{*} \sigma_{2 s^{2}} \sigma_{2 s^{2}}^{*} \sigma_{2 p_{z}^{2}} \pi_{2 p_{*}^{2}}$$=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}} \pi_{2 p_{z}^{2}}^{*}$$=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}}^{*}=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}}^{*}$
