Q31.Number of paramagnetic oxides among the following given oxides is ___________ . Li2O, CaO, Na2O2, KO2, MgO and K2O (1) 1 (2) 3 (3) 0 (4) 2

What This Question Tests

This question assesses the knowledge of paramagnetic nature of various oxides, peroxides, and superoxides, which depends on the presence of unpaired electrons, often determined using MO theory for oxygen species.

Concepts Tested

Electronic configurationParamagnetismMolecular orbital theory (for O₂⁻ and O₂²⁻ ions)Oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals
