Solution
The correct options are BNa2O2 CN2O DO3 If the number of electrons is even, then the molecule is usually diamagnetic - If all the electrons are paired.
A) Na2O2 (11×2+8×2=38 even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.
B) O3 (3×8=24 even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.
C) N2O (2×7+8=22 even number of electrons), so diamagnetic.
D) KO2 (19+2×8=35 odd number of electrons), so paramagnetic.
