Which one of the following is not paramagetic?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

{CO}

Option C is correct because CO has 14 electrons, all of which are paired according to molecular orbital theory, making it diamagnetic, not paramagnetic. The other options (NO, N2+, O2-) have unpaired electrons and are thus paramagnetic.
