    Which one of the following molecules is paramagnetic?

    A) \[{{N}_{2}}\]               

    B) NO 

    C) CO                  

    D) \[{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The molecular orbital configuration of the molecules given is Total no. of electrons in \[NO=7\left( N \right)+8\left( O \right)\] \[=15\] Hence E.C. of NO \[=KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}\sigma *{{(2s)}^{2}}\sigma {{(2{{p}_{z}})}^{2}}\] \[\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}=\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\pi *{{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{1}}=\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{0}}\] Due to presence of one unpaired electron NO is paramagnetic. Except NO all are diamagnetic due to absence of unpaired electrons.
