Interpretation: The paramagnetic species among the species
Concept introduction:
The combination of two atomic orbitals results in theformation of a bonding and an antibonding molecular orbital. Orbitals that lie on an internuclear axis combine to form sigma,
molecular orbitals.
The molecular orbital formed by the combination of
Bond order is determined by subtracting the number of antibonding electrons from the number of bonding electrons and dividing the number obtained by two.
If paired electrons are there in the orbital, then species is diamagnetic and if unpaired then it is paramagnetic.
