Answer #1

σ and σ* orbital can have maximum of 2 electrons

π and π* orbital can have maximum of 4 electrons

1 C atom have 6 electrons

Here, number of C is 2

so, total number of electrons in C2 is 12

Since charge is +4

Total number of electron = 8

So, total number of electrons to fill is 8

order of filling of orbitals is:

σ1s σ*1s σ2s σ*2s π2p σ2p π*2p σ*2p

Lets fill the orbital

the filled orbital is σ1s2 σ*1s2 σ2s2 σ*2s2

The orbital σ*2s2 has no unpaired electrons

So, it is diamagnetic in nature

Answer: diamagnetic

A Gouy balance is used to determine the magnetic susceptibility of a substance. A strong electromagnet is placed next to the sample, which is on a balance. If the sample is paramagnetic, the mass reading of the balance will increase when the field is switched on. Based on their electron configurations, predict whether these elements are paramagnetic or diamagnetic. He, Be, C, N
