EASY
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.

Assertion: In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H 2 , electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason: The bonding MO is ψA+ψB , which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.

Which one of the following molecules is expected to exhibit paramagnetic behaviour?
MEDIUM
A homonuclear diatomic gas molecule shows 2-electron magnetic moment. The one-electron and two-electron reduced species obtained from above gas molecule can act as both oxidising and reducing agents. When the gas molecule is one-electron oxidised the bond length decreases compared to the neutral molecule. The gas molecule is
