Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 206
Question: The paramagnetic property of the oxygen molecule due to the presence of unpaired electorns present in [Kerala PMT 2004]
Options:
A) $ {{(\sigma 2p_{x})}^{1}} $ and $ {{({{\sigma }^{*}}2p_{x})}^{1}} $
B) $ {{(\sigma 2p_{x})}^{1}} $ and $ {{(\pi 2p_{y})}^{1}} $
C) $ {{(\pi *2p_{y})}^{1}} $ and $ {{(\pi *2p_{z})}^{1}} $
D) $ {{(\pi *2p_{y})}^{1}} $ and $ {{(\pi 2p_{y})}^{1}} $
E) $ {{(\pi *2p_{z})}^{1}} $ and $ {{(\pi 2p_{z})}^{1}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The paramagnetic property in oxygen came through unpaired electron which can be explained by molecular orbital theory. So 2 unpaired of electron present in $ \pi \ 2p_y^{*}\ and\ \pi \ 2p_z^{*} $ .
