MCQ
Which one is paramagnetic from the following
  • A
    $O_2^ - $
  • B
    $NO$
  • Both $(a)$ and $(b)$
  • D
    $C{N^ - }$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both $(a)$ and $(b)$
(c) $O_2^ - \,(2 \times 8 + 1 = 17)$ has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic.

All the remaining molecules/ions, i.e.,

$C{N^ - }(6 + 7 + 1 = 14)$ diamagnetic

$NO(7 + 8 = 15)$ has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic.
