    Which one of the following species is diamagnetic in nature?

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

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

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

    D)         \[He_{2}^{+}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    A species is said to be diamagnetic if all the electrons present in it are paired.
    Species Electron MO Electronic Configuration Magnetic behavior
    \[H_{2}^{-}\] 3 \[\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{1}}\] Paramagnetic
    \[H_{2}^{+}\] 1 \[\sigma 1{{s}^{1}}\] Paramagnetic
    \[{{H}_{2}}\] 2 \[\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}\] Diamagnetic
    \[He_{2}^{+}\] 3 \[\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{1}}\] Paramagnetic
