Which is more paramagnetic N2 or N22- - Chemistry - Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Question

Which is more paramagnetic N2 or N2
2- ?

Pankaj Singh · Accepted Answer

N22- molecule is more paramagnetic This is because there is no unpaired electron in N2 molecule while N22- contains 2 unpaired electrons $N_{2} {σ s}^{2} {, σ * 1 s}^{2}, {σ 2 s}^{2}, {σ * 2 s}^{2}, {⨿ 2 p x}^{2} = {Π 2 p y}^{2}, {σ 2 p z}^{2},$ ${N^{2 -}}_{2} {σ s}^{2} {, σ * 1 s}^{2}, {σ 2 s}^{2}, {σ * 2 s}^{2}, {⨿ 2 p x}^{2} = {Π 2 p y}^{2}, {σ 2 p z}^{2}, {Π * 2 P x}^{1} = {Π * 2 p y}^{1}$
