    Which of the following species exhibits the diamagnetic behaviour?       AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2007

    A)  \[{{I}_{0}}\]                      

    B)         \[I/{{I}_{0}}\]                   

    C)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                    

    D)         \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The correct option is\[O_{2}^{2-}\]. This species has 18 electrons, which are filled in such a way that all molecular orbitals are fully filled, so diamagnetic. \[\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{2}},\sigma 2{{s}^{2}}\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,2{{s}^{2}}\sigma 2p_{z}^{2},\pi 2p_{x}^{2}=\pi 2p_{y}^{2},\]                                                 \[{{\pi }^{*}}2p_{x}^{2}={{\pi }^{*}}2p_{y}^{2}\]
