Question

15. If molecular orbital diagram for diatomic molecule shows that it has two electrons that exist in orbitals by themselves , what can we predict about the substance?
A. It is paramagnetic and attracted to a magnet field B. It is paramagnetic and weakly repelled by a magnetic field C. It is diamagnetic and attracted to a magnetic field D. It is diamagnetic and weakly repelled by a magnetic field E. It cannot exist 15.

Explanation / Answer

If two electrons exsist by themselves, they remain as unpaired electron. This makes the molecule paramagnetic in nature and paramagnetic substances are attreacted by a magnetic field.

The correct option is: A
