Vedclass · Answer

(C) species is paramagnetic if it contains at least one unpaired electron.$1$. $A$ $Carbanion$ $(R_3C^-)$ has a lone pair of electrons on the carbon atom,meaning all electrons are paired (diamagnetic).$2$. $A$ $Carbonium$ $ion$ $(R_3C^+)$ has an empty $p$-orbital and all electrons are paired (diamagnetic).$3$. $A$ $Free$ $radical$ $(R_3C^.)$ contains an unpaired electron in its orbital,which makes it paramagnetic.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.
