Q.No.19 Why Oxygen is Paramagnetic and Sulphur is diamagnetic???
Ans:
1. First of all recall the concept of Diamagnetism and Paramagnetism
Diamagnetism:
Diamagnetism : process in which substance is repelled to magnetic fieldand these substance have paired electrons.
Paramagnetism : process in which substance is attracted to magnetic field and these atoms have unpaired electrons.
2. According to Molecular orbital Theory
Diatomic Oxygen have unpaired electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals
these orbitals are also known as degenerate pi star orbitals 2px and 2py
these orbitals contain unpaired electrons
thats why Diatomic oxygen or Molecular oxygen show the paramagnetism.
3. The electron configurations of oxygen and sulfur are usually written as follows.

3. The electron configurations of oxygen and sulfur are usually written as follows.
O = [He] 2s2 2p4
S = [Ne] 3s2 3p4
Sulphur contains unpaired electron as u can see with the help of MOT diagram thats why it shows the paramagentism
