Answer» Correct Answer - D Both `N_2` and `C_2` are diamagnetic `C_2impliessigma1s^2sigma^**1s^2sigma2s^2sigma^**2s^2{:(pi2p_x^2,,),(pi2p_y^2,,):}]` `N_2impliessigma1s^2sigma^**1s^2sigma2s^2sigma^**2s^2{:(pi2p_x^2,,),(pi2p_y^2,,):}]sigma2p_x^2` Both `O_2` and `S_2` are paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons each. |
