    Which one of the following is paramagnetic? I

    A)  NO                       

    B)  \[N{{O}^{+}}\]  

    C)  \[N{{O}^{-}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{N}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    (a,c) NO = (7 + 8 = 15) \[=KK=\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}},\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\,_{2}^{*}2p_{z}^{1}\]                  \[N{{O}^{+}}=\] (7 + 8 - 1 = 14) \[=KK\,\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}},\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\pi 2p_{y}^{2},2p_{z}^{2}\]  \[N{{O}^{-}}=\] (7 + 8 + 1 = 16) \[=KK\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}},\sigma 2p_{z}^{2},\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\pi 2p_{y}^{2},\]                                                 \[{{\pi }^{*}}2{{p}_{x}}^{1},{{\pi }^{*}}2p_{y}^{1}\]  \[{{N}_{2}}=\] (7 + 7 = 14) \[=KK,\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}},\pi 2p_{x}^{2},\pi 2p_{y}^{2},\sigma 2p_{z}^{2}\] Due to presence of unpaired electrons in NO and \[N{{O}^{-}}\] both of these species are paramagnetic in nature.
