BN is paramagnetic or dimagnetic?
No. of electrons in BN is 12 i.e. 5 from B and 7 from N (5+7=12). Its molecular orbital configuration is :
σ1s2 σ*1s2 σ2s2 σ*2s2 π2py2 π2pz2
No. of unpaired electrons=0
Therefore, BN is dimagnetic in nature.
σ1s2 σ*1s2 σ2s2 σ*2s2 π2py2 π2pz2
No. of unpaired electrons=0
Therefore, BN is dimagnetic in nature.
