Question
Chapter 19, Problem 59E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The paramagnetic behavior of oxygen is to be explained using the molecular orbital theory.
Concept introduction: If a molecule contains unpaired electrons, then, it is said to be paramagnetic whereas if a molecule does not contain any unpaired electrons, then, it is said to be diamagnetic.
To determine: An explanation for the paramagnetic behavior of oxygen using the molecular orbital theory
