    Which one of the following molecules is paramagnetic?     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 19 April 2016)

    A) \[{{N}_{2}}\]                                     

    B) NO

    C) CO                                         

    D) \[{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The molecular orbital configuration of the molecules given is Total no. of electrons in NO = 7(N) + 8(O) = 15 Hence E.C. of \[NO=KK{{[\sigma (2s)]}^{2}}{{[\sigma *(2s)]}^{2}}{{[\sigma 2{{p}_{z}}]}^{2}}\] \[{{[\pi (2{{p}_{x}})]}^{2}}{{[\pi (2{{p}_{y}})]}^{2}}{{[\pi *(2{{p}_{x}})]}^{1}}\] Due to presence of one unpaired electron NO is paramagnetic. Except NO all are diamagnetic due to absence of unpaired electrons.
