1.

Which one is paramagnetic from the followingA. `O_(2)^(-)`B. NOC. Both (a) and (b)D. `CN^(-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`O_(2)^(-)` (2x 8 +1=17) has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic . All the remaining molecules/ions, i.e. `CN^(-)`(6+7+1=14) diamagnetic
NO (7+8+1=14) has odd number of electrons and hence it is paramagnetic.
