So this is the molecular orbital diagram.
00:07
First i have just drawn it for oxygen.
00:10
So let's say these are the atomic orbitals of oxygen.
00:16
And by the combination of these, the molecular orbitals can be formed.
00:21
And this is just by the superimposition of these atomic orbitals.
00:25
This is how these molecular orbitals are formed.
00:28
And this is beyond the, this concept is beyond, beyond the knowledge of this question.
00:35
So, so we just need to consider the electronic configurations to tell whether a particular element or whether the particular molecule given in the question is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
00:48
So first, for paramagnetism, we should have unpaired electrons present.
00:58
So if the molecule has unpaid electrons present in it, then we can call it as a paramagnetic molecule.
01:06
So let's consider the case of oxygen first.
01:09
So oxygen has an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 and 2p4...
