Why B2 is paramagnetic whereas C2 is dimagnetic?


For B2 (10e) the MO configuration is (σ1s)2 (σ*1s)2 (σ2s)2 (σ*2s)2 (π2px1 = π2py1)

Due to presence of unpaired electron π2px1 = π2py1 it shows paramagnetism.

C2(12e) the MO configuration is (σ1s)2 (σ*1s)2 (σ2s)2 (π2px2 = π2py2)

No unpaired electrons are there in C2 π2px2 = π2py2, hence it shows diamagnetism.
