    Number of unpaired electrons in \[{{O}_{2}}\] molecule is

    A) zero                                      

    B)        one

    C)        two                                       

    D)        four

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{O}_{2}}=8+8=16\]. \[=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\,\,\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\,\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},\,\,\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,2{{s}^{2}},\,\,\sigma 2p_{z}^{2},\] \[\pi 2p_{y}^{2},\,\,\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\,\,\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,2p_{y}^{1}\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,2p_{x}^{1}\] \[\therefore \]Number of unpaired electrons\[=2\]
