A species has the following MO configuration: ( $\sigma$_1s)²( $\sigma$_1s*)²( $\sigma$_2s)²( $\sigma$_2s*)²( $\sigma$_2p)²($\pi$_2p)² This substance is A)paramagnetic with one unpaired electron B)paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons C)paramagnetic with three unpaired electrons D)paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons E)diamagnetic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The configuration indicates two unpaired electrons, making the substance paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.
