Predict the magnetic nature of the following heteronuclear diatomic mo

1.	Predict the magnetic nature of the following heteronuclear diatomic molecules . NO .
Answer» Solution :NO: No. of electrons ` = 7 + 8 = 15` Electronic configuration : `(sigma_(1s))^(2) (sigma_(1s)^())^(2) (sigma_(2)^(s))^(2)(sigma_(2s)^())^(2)(sigma_(2)p_(Z))^(2)(pi_(2)^(2)p_(x))^(2)` ` = (pi_(2)p_(y))^(2) pi_(2)^(**)p_(x)^(1)`. Bond order ` = 1/2 (N_(b) - N_(a))` ` = 1/2 (10 - 5) = 2.5` Magnetic nature : NO consist of one unpaired ELECTRON . Hence it is paramagnetic.
