Which of the following species would you expect to be paramagnetic?
14. Which of the following species would you expect to be paramagnetic? Briefly explain the answers using molecular orbital energy level diagrams or molecular orbital electron configurations.
N2, N2-, N2+, O2, N2^2- O2+, O2-, O2^2-
SO^4+ - We are asked to construct an energy level diagram (molecular orbital) for the molecule SO. We are then asked to comment on the ionic species of SO - bond order, bond distance etc. So far so good.
