Question

Which one of the following does not exhibit paramagnetism? (A) NO (B) NO2 (C) CIO2 (D) CIO2-

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

NO, NO2 and ClO2 all have odd number of electrons and therefore are expected to paramagnetic. ClO2- have even number of electrons (.17+35=52.) , so it may be diamagnetic.

Q. Which one of the following does not exhibit paramagnetism?

NO

$N O_{2}$

$C I O_{2}$

$C I O_{2}^{-}$

NO, $N O_{2}$ and $Cl O_{2}$ all have odd number of electrons and therefore are expected to paramagnetic. $Cl O_{2}^{-}$ have even number of electrons $(17 + 35 = 52)$ , so it may be diamagnetic.
