Question

$NaCl$ is a paramagnetic substance.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

$NaCl$ cannot be a paramagnetic substance as all the electrons are paired.

$N{a}^{+}$ has electronic configuration $\left[Ne\right]$

$C{l}^{-}$ has electronic configuration $\left[Ar\right]$

Thus, both cation and anion have an inert gas electronic configuration in which all the electrons are paired.

It is diamagnetic in nature.
