JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 4th April Morning Shift - No. 17)

Which of the following molecule(s) show/s paramagnetic behavior?

A. $\mathrm{O}_2$

B. $\mathrm{N}_2$

C. $\mathrm{F}_2$

D. $\mathrm{S}_2$

E. $\mathrm{Cl}_2$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A & C only
A & E Only
A & D Only
B Only

Explanation

No. of unpaired $\mathrm{e}^{-}$

(A) $\mathrm{O}_2$
2
(B) $\mathrm{N}_2$ 0
(C) $\mathrm{F}_2$ 0
(D) $\mathrm{S}_2$ 2
(E) $\mathrm{Cl}_2$ 0

If species contain unpaired electron than it is paramagnetic.

So A & D are paramagnetic.
