AngelicTaboo Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hello everyone! I was wondering if anybody could help explain to me how to deduce whether the following were either diamagnetic or paramagnetic? (i)O2 (ii)N2 (iii)B2 (iv)S2 and finally... (vi)NO What im really hoping for is a method that i could do myself in order to deduce compounds such as these... Any help would be gratefully appreciated thanks.

fermions Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I think one can use the molecular orbital theory to deduce about it.. but I'm not sure about it.. the energy levels of the orbitals are so confusing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelicTaboo Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 yeh, ive been studying the Molecular Orbital Diagrams and about electons been unpaired and paired in a spin pair, but i have no idea where to go from this in order of explaning and deducing whether they are paramagnetic or diamagnetic....? Help anyone! Thanks for your reply tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
