    Which one of the following species is diamagnetic in nature [AIEEE 2005]

    A)                 \[He_{2}^{+}\] 

    B)                 H2

    C)                 \[H_{2}^{+}\]    

    D)                 \[H_{2}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                                   \[\begin{matrix}    {} & He_{2}^{+} & {{H}_{2}} & H_{2}^{+} & H_{2}^{-}  \\    \sigma (1s) & \underline{\uparrow \downarrow } & \underline{\uparrow \downarrow } & \underline{\uparrow \,} & \underline{\uparrow \downarrow }  \\    \overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,(1s) & \underline{\uparrow \,} & \underline{\,\,\,\,} & \underline{\,\,\,\,} & \underline{\uparrow \,}  \\    B.O. & \frac{1}{2} & 1 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2}  \\    \begin{align}   & \text{Magnetic} \\  & \text{nature} \\ \end{align} & \text{P} & \text{D} & \text{P} & \text{P}  \\ \end{matrix}\]                                 (P = Paramagnetic, D = Diamagnetic)
