Expert Solution

Step 1: Definitions and rules

To write the electronic configuration of the molecule first we have to draw the molecular orbital diagram (MOD) for all these molecules. Then with the help of MOD we can write electronic configuration as well as we can predict the magnetic property of molecules.

If there is any unpaired electron present in the molecular orbital diagram, then the molecule will show paramagnetic property.

If all the electrons in the molecular orbital diagram will be paired then the molecule will show diamagnetic property.
