Triplet oxygen
Summary
- Triplet oxygen is a triplet (S=1), which explains why liquid oxygen is paramagnetic and can be attracted to the poles of a magnet. The Lewis structure O=O does not accurately represent the double radical nature of molecular oxygen; molecular orbital theory must be used to adequately account for the unpaired electrons.
