    Which of the following is diamagnetic?

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}\]                                      

    B) \[H_{2}^{-}\]

    C) \[H_{2}^{+}\]                    

    D)        \[He_{2}^{+}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Diamagnetic species have all electrons paired, whereas paramagnetic species have unpaired electrons.                 \[{{H}_{2}}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}\] No. of unpaired electron\[=0\Rightarrow \]diamagnetic                 \[H_{2}^{-}=\sigma 1s,\,\,\sigma *1{{s}^{1}}\] No. of unpaired electron\[=1\Rightarrow \]paramagnetic                 \[H_{2}^{-}=\sigma 1{{s}^{1}}\] No. of unpaired electron\[=1\Rightarrow \]paramagnetic             \[He_{2}^{+}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\,\,\sigma *1{{s}^{1}}\] No. of unpaired electron\[=1\Rightarrow \]paramagnetic
