A pair of compounds which has odd electrons in the group `NO,CO,CIO,N_(2),SO_(2) and O_(3) ` are

Options

A. NO and `ClO_(2)`
B. CO and `SO_(2)`
C. `ClO_(2) " and " CO`
D. `SO_(2) " and " O_(3)`

Answer

a

Explanation

Total no. of electrons in
` NO = 7 + 8 = 15 `
` ClO_(2) = 17 + 2 xx8 = 33`
` CO = 6 + 8 = 14 `
`SO_(2) = 16 + 2 xx8 = 32`
` O_(3) = 8xx3 = 24 `
Only NO and ` ClO_(2)` have odd electrons .
