Question:
Which one of the following oxides is expected to exhibit paramagnetic behaviour ?
Which one of the following oxides is expected to exhibit paramagnetic behaviour ?
Updated On: Apr 21, 2025
CO2
SO2
ClO2
SiO2
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
ClO2 exhibits paramagnetic properties as a result of the unpaired electrons present in its structure.
Therefore, the correct option is (C): ClO2

P-Block Elements
- P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
- P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.
P block elements consist of:
- Group 13 Elements: Boron family
- Group 14 Elements: Carbon family
- Group 15 Elements: Nitrogen family
- Group 16 Elements: Oxygen family
- Group 17 Elements: Fluorine family
- Group 18 Elements: Neon family
