    B) \[{{O}_{2}}\]                     

    C) \[L{{i}_{2}}\]                      

    D)        \[He_{2}^{+}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Molecules or ions having no unpaired electrons are diamagnetic, e.g.,                 \[L{{i}_{2}}=6{{e}^{-}}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\,\,\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{2}},\,\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}}\]
