    Which one of the following is paramagnetic?

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

    B)  NO

    C)  CO                                        

    D)  \[{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Electronic configuration of NO =\[KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\]\[{{\pi }^{*}}{{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{1}}\] \[\because \]NO has one unpaired electron in anti bonding orbital. \[\therefore \] It is paramagnetic.
