Among the following species
N2, N2+,N2−,N22−,O2,O2+,O2−,O22−
the number of species showing diamagnesim is _______________.
Correct Answer:
2
Explanation
Those species which have unpaired electrons are called paramagnetic species.
And those species which have no unpaired electrons are called diamagnetic species.
(1)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
=
Here no unpaired electron present, so it is diamagnetic.
(2) Moleculer orbital configuration of
=
Here in
(3)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here 2 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(4)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(a)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here is no unpaired electron so it is diamagnetic.
(b)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(c)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here 2 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(d)
Moleculer orbital configuration of
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
And those species which have no unpaired electrons are called diamagnetic species.
(1)
N2
has 14 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
N2
=
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗π2px2=π2py2σ2pz2
Here no unpaired electron present, so it is diamagnetic.
(2) Moleculer orbital configuration of
N2+
(13 electrons)
=
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗π2px2=π2py2σ2pz1
Here in
N2+
, 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(3)
N22−
has 16 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
N22−
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2py1∗
Here 2 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(4)
N2−
has 15 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
N2−
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2py0∗
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(a)
O22−
has 18 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
O22−
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px2∗=π2py2∗
Here is no unpaired electron so it is diamagnetic.
(b)
O2−
has 17 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
O22−
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px2∗=π2py1∗
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(c)
O2
has 16 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
O2
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2py1∗
Here 2 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
(d)
O2+
has 15 electrons.
Moleculer orbital configuration of
O2+
is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2py0∗
Here 1 unpaired electron present, so it is paramagnetic.
