Which of the following species are paramagnetic?
`H_2 ,H_(2)^(+) and H_(2)^(-)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the species \( H_2 \), \( H_2^+ \), and \( H_2^- \) are paramagnetic, we need to analyze the number of unpaired electrons in each species. Paramagnetic species have one or more unpaired electrons, while diamagnetic species have all electrons paired. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Analyze \( H_2 \)**: - Each hydrogen atom has one electron. Therefore, in \( H_2 \) (which consists of two hydrogen atoms), the total number of electrons is 2. - The electronic configuration for \( H_2 \) can be written as: \[ ...
