Q No. of unpaired electrons in O2 molecule---
1) 0 2)1 3) 2 4) 4
Hot goIITian
see O2 does not hav a unpaired electron but
well if u draw the molecular orbital diagram of O2
then u will get a unpaired electron configuration
hence it is paramagnetic.
New kid on the Block
if you write the MO configuration for oxygen molecule it is seen that there are two unpaired electrons in antibondin p-orbital
O2 molecule possesses 4 unpaired electrons...
