Which one of the following molecules is expected to exhibit diamagnetic behaviour?
(i) `N_2` (ii) `O_2`
(iii) `S_2` (iv) `C_2`

A

`C_2`

B

`N_2`

C

`O_2`

D

`S_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
(A) `C_2=KK.(sigma2s)^2(sigma^(**)2s)^(2)(pi2p_x)^2(pi2p_y)^2`
Hence Diamagnetic
(b) `N_2=KK.(sigma2s)^2(sigma^(**)2s)^2(pi2p_x)^2(pi2p_y)^2(sigma2p_z)^2`
Hence Diamagnetic
