Which of the following molecular species has unpaired electron(s)?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
is derivative of 
and has 17 electrons. So its molecular orbital electronic configuration is
As it contains one unpaired electron in 
molecular orbital so it is paramagnetic. Rest all species have paired electrons so diamagnetic.
