The number of paramagnetic species among the following is: B2, C2, N2+, O2.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify how many of the given chemical species are paramagnetic. Each species (B₂, C₂, N₂⁺, O₂) needs to be analyzed for unpaired electrons to determine if it is paramagnetic.
Answer
3
The final answer is 3
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 3
More Information
B2, N2+, and O2 are paramagnetic because they have unpaired electrons. C2 is diamagnetic as all its electrons are paired.
Tips
Ensure to check the electron configuration accurately to identify any unpaired electrons, which indicate paramagnetism.
