Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic?
  • Step 1: Understand what diamagnetic means. A molecule is diamagnetic if all its electrons are paired.
  • Step 2: Identify the molecule in question, which is F2 (fluorine gas).
  • Step 3: Determine the electron configuration of F2. Each fluorine atom has 7 electrons, so F2 has a total of 14 electrons.
  • Step 4: Arrange the electrons in molecular orbitals. For F2, the electrons fill the orbitals in pairs.
  • Step 5: Check if all electrons in F2 are paired. Since they are, F2 is diamagnetic.
