Which of the following pair of molecules contain odd electron molecule and an expanded octet molecule?Which of the following pair of molecules contain odd electron molecule and an expanded octet molecule?

Options

  1. ABCl3{BCl}_{3} and SF6{SF}_{6}
  2. BNONO and H2SO4{H}_{2}{SO}_{4}
  3. CSF6{SF}_{6} and H2SO4{H}_{2}{SO}_{4}
  4. DBCl3{BCl}_{3} and NONO

Correct answer

B. NONO and H2SO4{H}_{2}{SO}_{4}

Step-by-step solution

An odd electron bond means there is an odd number of the electron in the overall molecule. Or we can say that the molecule has unpaired electrons.

So, in NONO, the valence electrons in nitrogen are 55, and valence electrons in oxygen are 66. So, by adding we get, 6+5=116 + 5 = 11

In sulfuric acid (H2SO4)( {H}_{2}{SO}_{4} ), each oxygen has a full octet (eight valence electrons), whereas sulfur has an expanded octet (twelve valence electrons).

Which of the following pair of molecules contain odd electron molecule and an expanded octet molecule?

(A) BCl3→{BCl}_{3} \to Even Electron molecule SF6→{SF}_{6} \to Expanded octet molecule

(B) NO→NO \to Odd Electron molecule H2SO4→{H}_{2}{SO}_{4} \to Expanded octet.

(C) SF6→{SF}_{6} \to Even Electron molecule H2SO4→{H}_{2}{SO}_{4} \to Expanded octet.

(D) BCl3→{BCl}_{3} \to Even Electron molecule NO→NO \to Odd Electron molecule
