Detailed Solution

$C_{2}, N_{2}, F_{2} \Rightarrow$ Diamagnetic (According to MOT)

$C_{2} (12) = σ 1 s^{2} σ * 1 s^{2} σ 2 s^{2} σ * 2 s^{2} [\begin{array}{l} π 2 p x_{2}^{2} \\ π 2 p y_{2}^{2} \end{array}] σ 2 p_{2}} D i a$

$B_{2} (10) = σ 1 s^{2} σ * 1 s^{2} σ 2 s^{2} σ * 2 s^{2} [\begin{array}{l} π 2 p x_{2}^{1} \\ π 2 p y_{2}^{1} \end{array}] σ 2 p_{2}} P a r a$
