Why B2 is paramagnetic whereas C2 is dimagnetic?
For B2 (10) the MO configuration is (σ1s)2 (σ*1s)2 (σ2s)2 (σ*2s)2 (2p = 2p)
Due to presence of unpaired electron it shows paramagnetism.
C2(12) the MO configuration is (σ1s)2 (σ*1s)2 (σ2s)2 (2p = 2p)
No unpaired electrons are there in C2 , hence it shows diamagnetism.
