Short Answer TypeCalculate the ratio of the rate of diffusion of oxygen to the rate of diffusion of hydrogen at constant temperature and pressure.
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.
