    The paramagnetic molecule at ground state among the following is         [UPSEAT 2004]

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

    B)                 \[{{O}_{2}}\]

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

    D)                 \[CO\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{O}_{2}}\to \]\[\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}1{{s}^{2}},\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}},\pi 2{{p}_{x}}^{2}\ \left\{ \begin{matrix}    \pi 2{{p}_{y}}^{2}  \\    {}  \\    \pi 2{{p}_{z}}^{2}  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\left\{ \begin{matrix}    {{\pi }^{*}}2{{p}_{y}}^{1}  \\    {}  \\    {{\pi }^{*}}2{{p}_{z}}^{2}  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]                    So two unpaired electron found in \[{{O}_{2}}\] at ground stage by which it shows paramagnetism.
