(i) "B_2^+"



In "B_2^+" there is one unpared electron, this molecule is paramagnetic.


(ii) "O_2^-"




In "O_2^-" there is one unpaired electron on "\u03c0_{2py}^*" , this molecule is paramagnetic


(iii) "N_2^{2-}"



In "N_2^{2-}" there is two unpared electrons, this molecule is paramagnetic


(iv) CO



In Co there are no unpaired electrons, this molecule is diamagnetic


(v) "C_2^{2-}"



In "C_2^{2-}" there are no unpared electrons, this molecule is diamagnetic
