    Total number of unpaired electrons in \[{{O}_{2}}\] molecule is:

    A)  \[0\]                                    

    B)  \[1\]

    C)  \[2\]                                    

    D)  \[3\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Molecular orbital configuration \[{{O}_{2}}\] is. \[\sigma {{(1s)}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(1s)}^{2}},\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\] \[\sigma {{(2p)}^{2}}{{\pi }_{y}}{{(2p)}^{2}}{{\pi }_{z}}{{(2p)}^{2}}\pi _{y}^{*}{{(2p)}^{1}}\pi _{z}^{*}{{(2p)}^{1}}\] Therefore, number of unpaired electrons                                 \[=2\]
