Is C2H6 paramagnetic

Open in App
Solution

Dear student

Those atoms which have all orbitals filled with paired electrons are called diamagnetic and those which have unpaired electron are paramagnetic.
Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field and paramagnetic are weakly attracted towards magnetic field.
​​​​​​C2H6(ethane) which has all orbitals filled with paired elctron is dimagnetic.
