Question

The magnetic moment of O₃ molecule is _______ Bohr magneton (B.M.). (rounded off to the nearest integer)

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 0

The magnetic moment of the O₃ molecule is zero because it is diamagnetic. Despite having unpaired electrons in its molecular orbitals, the overall molecular configuration leads to no net magnetic moment. This is due to the symmetric distribution of electrons in the molecule.

Since the O₃ molecule has no unpaired electrons in its ground state and no net magnetic moment, the correct answer is 0 Bohr magnetons.
