Summary
These notes discuss molecular orbital theory (M.O.T), focusing on how it explains the paramagnetism of oxygen compared to predictions based on valence bond theory. It also describes the relationship between electron pairing, magnetism, and molecular color properties.

## Write note on molecular orbital theory (M.O.T) - Oxygen molecule is diamagnetic but practically oxygen molecule is paramagnetic. This behaviour is not explained by valence bond theory. - When a molecule contains at least one unpaired electron then it is known as paramagnetic & they show colour property. - The molecules which are completely fulfill with their electrons are diamagnetic and they show colorless property.
