The molecule having one unpaired electron isA. NOB. COC. `CN^(-)`D. `CO_(2)` |
|
Answer» (a) NO has 15 electrons in its molecular orbitals which are distributed as follows `NO=sigma 1s^(2)overset(**)sigma1s^(2)sigma2s^(2)overset(**)sigma2s^(2)pi2p_(y)^(2)pi2p_(z)^(2)sigma2p_(x)^(2)overset(**)pi2p_(y)^(1)` As it contains one unpaired electron, hence it is paramagnetic. |
