please correct the mistake madam

MERCURY(I)=mercurous=Hg⁺ or Hg₂²⁺
MERCURY(II)=mercuric=Hg²⁺

important fact about
[MERCURY(I) or mercurous]:

•originally MERCURY(I) is Hg⁺
•but we consider it as Hg₂²⁺
because

Hg⁺
-it is unstable.
-it is paramagnetic, since it has 1 unpaired e⁻ in 's' orbital.
-Hg⁺ makes covalent bond by dimerization with itself in +1 oxidation state.

Hg₂²⁺
-it is stable.
-now it is diamagnetic instead of paramagnetic.
