Text solutionVerified

If the number of electrons is even, then the molecule is usually diamagnetic - If all the electrons are paired.

N a_{2} O_{2}

(

11 \times 2 + 8 \times 2 = 38

even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.

O_{3}

(

3 \times 8 = 24

even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.

N_{2} O

(

2 \times 7 + 8 = 22

even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.

K O_{2}

(

19 + 2 \times 8 = 35

odd number of electrons), so paramagnetic.

Hence options

A, B

and

C

are correct.
