Question:
how do we know that a compound is diamagnetic or paramagnetic while drawing structures in valence bond theory
Answer:
While drawing structures in VBT, if there are any unpaired electrons in an atom, then it is likely to show paramagnetism.
And, if there are no unpaired electrons but all electrons are paired then the atom is diamagnetic.
