Apply molecular orbital theory to determine which molecule is diamagnetic

Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 266 People

According to molecular orbital theory, all diatomic molecules with an even number of electrons will be diamagnetic. True or False?

Answered by admin @


It's impossible to do the diagrams on here, but the O2 molecule is the simplest example. It has two unpaired electrons which are obvious only when you approach the structure via the MO theory.  

I'd Google "Oxygen molecular orbitals" or something like that if I were you.
