Amongst the following, the number of oxide(s) which are paramagnetic in nature is
$$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{KO}_{2}, \mathrm{NO}_{2}, \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{ClO}_{2}, \mathrm{NO}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$
Answer (integer)
4
Solution
Paramagnetic species: $\mathrm{KO}_{2}, \mathrm{NO}_{2}, \mathrm{ClO}_{2}, \mathrm{NO}$
<br/><br/>
Diamagnetic species are: $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
