MCQ
Which of the following species exhibits the diamagnetic behaviour ?
  • A
    $NO$
  • $O_2^{2-}$
  • C
    $O_2^+$
  • D
    $O_2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$O_2^{2-}$
b
$\quad O_{2}^{2}$ has $18$ electrons.

Moleculer orbital configuration of $O_{2}^{2-}$ is

$\sigma_{1 s^{2}} \sigma_{1 s^{2}}^{*} \sigma_{2 s^{2}} \sigma_{2 s^{2}}^{*} \sigma_{2 p_{z}^{2}} \pi_{2 p_{*}^{2}}$$=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}} \pi_{2 p_{z}^{2}}^{*}$$=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}}^{*}=\pi_{2 p_{y}^{2}}^{*}$
