Assertion : `O_2` molecule is diamagnetic while `C_2` molecule is paramagnetic in nature.
Reason : Bond order of `O_2` molecule is 1.5 and that of `C_2` molecule is 2.5.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
