Because the electrons have equal energy ( they are degenerate ) diboron is a diradical and since the spins are parallel the compound is paramagnetic.
22.
Well, it's just that the molecular modelling program I'm using does not like the idea of a double bonded dioxygen diradical.

Theoretical calculations found the [ 1, 5 ] shift to be a diradical process, but without involving any diradical minima on the potential energy surface.

To sum up; the "'experimental evidence "'indicates that oxygen is BOTH second bond order ( double bond ) and a diradical.
26.
But the diradical isn't a shared " pair " making one bond-- that's impossible if they have the same spin.
27.
In even more specific context, this can also name the non-radical singlet ground state, whereas the diradical state is named " trioxidanediyl ".

Exposure to oxygen ( diradical ) converts this carbene to the corresponding benzophenone and the diphenylmethane compound is formed when it is trapped by 1, 4-cyclohexadiene.
29.
The resulting diradical, a 1, 4-dehydrobenzene derivative, is capable of abstracting hydrogen atoms from the sugar backbone of DNA which results in strand scission.
30.
Although, in even more specific context, it can also name the non-radical state, whereas the diradical state is named " azanediyl ".
