The diamagnetic species among the following is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
To be diamagnetic, no unpaired electron must be present.
Hint Write molecular orbital electronic configuration of each species.
For all options given,
is common.
After that, ,
,
and ,
all contain unpaired electron. They are paramagnetic, but has no unpaired electrons.
It is diamagnetic.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
