Question

molecular orbital theory correctly predicts paramagnetism according to mo theory, overlap of two p atomic orbitals produces .oxygen gas, o2. this is because .

Answer 1

Overlap of two p atomic orbital produces oxygen gas ,o2 because it has two unpaired electron and explains paramagnetism.

O2 molecules have two unpaired electrons Materials in which all the electrons are paired are diamagnetic. It repel a magnetic field.Para magnetic and diamagnetic materials do not act as permanent magnets. Molecular orbital theory provides an explanation  of chemical bond that explains paramagnetism of the oxygen molecule. It also explains the bonding in a other molecule. O2 molecule has two unpaired electron.  Electrons creates magnetic field as it goes to the ground state and also spin.MO theory describes the distribution of electrons in molecules same as the distribution of electrons in atoms described using atomic orbital.
