Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Ozone is :
A
Non-magnetic
B
Ferromagnetic
C
Paramagnetic
D
Diamagnetic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Assertion : Ozone is powerful oxidising agent in comparison to O2. Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but O2 is paramagnetic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Molecular orbital theory explains the presence of unpaired electrons. Ozone is diamagnetic. Its magnetic moment is zero. Ozone molecule has no unpaired electrons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ozone is diamagnetic as there is no unpaired but O2 is paramagnetic due to the presence of two unpaired electrons in pi molecular orbitals.

Detailed explanation-4: -A paramagnetic electron is an unpaired electron. NO has one unpaired electron. Hence, it is paramagnetic in nature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Assertion: Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent in comparison to O2 Reason: Ozone is diamagnetic while O2 is paramagnetic.
