Wired Faculty App

Which one of the following molecules is expected to exhibit diamagnetic behaviour?

  • C2

  • O2

  • N2

  • S2

Solution

A.

C2

C2 and N2, all the electrons are paired, therefore, both of are diamagnetic.
C2 (6+6 = 12)
space equals space straight sigma 1 straight s squared comma straight sigma asterisk times 1 straight s squared comma straight sigma 2 straight s squared comma straight sigma asterisk times 2 straight s squared comma straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight x superscript 2 space almost equal to straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight y superscript 2

N2 (7+7) = 14
space equals space straight sigma 1 straight s squared comma straight sigma asterisk times 1 straight s squared comma straight sigma 2 straight s squared comma straight sigma asterisk times 2 straight s squared comma straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight x superscript 2 space almost equal to straight pi 2 straight p subscript straight y superscript 2 comma space straight sigma 2 straight p subscript straight z superscript 2
Oxygen and sulphur both are paramagnetic molecules.
