The molecule (ion) having one unpaired electron is
Options
- ANO
- BCO
- CCN ⁻
- DO ₂
Correct answer
A. NO
Step-by-step solution
Nitric oxide (NO) has one unpaired electron and it is paramagnetic in nature. It has 15 electrons. aligned & NO : K K (2 s)^2 * (2 s)^2 (2 p_z )^2 (2 p_x )^2 (2 p_y )^2+ (2 p_x )^1 aligned
