Which of the following statements are true about Oxygen and Carbon molecules? Statement 1: Oxygen molecule (O2) is diamagnetic in nature. Statement 2: Carbon molecule (C2) is diamagnetic in nature.

Which of the following statements are true about Oxygen and Carbon molecules? Statement 1: Oxygen molecule (O2) is diamagnetic in nature. Statement 2: Carbon molecule (C2) is diamagnetic in nature. Correct Answer Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true

Oxygen molecules (O2) and Carbon molecules (C2) both belongs to the family of diatomic molecules, bonded to each other by a covalent bond. But due to the presence of one unpaired electron, O2 molecule is paramagnetic in nature whereas due to the absence of unpaired electrons, C2 molecule is diamagnetic in nature.

In this question a passage and a statement related to it have been given. Read carefully the passage and review the statement based on it. When Shah Jahan gave his love for Mumtaz, he would have believed that the river would continue to flow. There was no solid land on which the foundation could be laid. Therefore, to reduce the level of water, he used an engineering system to use the foundation of deep well and it was filled with stone and mud. Finally, he covered them with wooden box work structure and the tomb Made Yamuna is an integral part of the creation of the Taj and there was no such predict ion that it would dry up or become narrow. But the river was narrow and it became contaminated. The timber of wood is likely to be brittle or disintegrated as the venetian made on the foundation of wood, indicates that when the wood is submerged in the wood, the age of the wood increases.
