Which of the period 2 homonuclear diatomic molecules are predicted to be paramagnetic?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The period 2 homonuclear diatomic molecules are predicted to be paramagnetic are B2 and O2.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of  diatomic molecule

A diatomic molecule is a molecule that consists of only two atoms of the same or different chemical elements

02

 Finding homoneuclear molecule.

The molecules \({{\rm{B}}_2}\) and \({{\rm{O}}_2}\) since they have unpaired electrons, that period is paramagnetic \(\pi \)molecular orbitals.
