in ClO2 ,the central Cl atom is sp2 hybridized with O-Cl-O angle of 118 degree.....the bond lengths are both 149 pm .....Cl-O bond has appreciable double bond character due to p(pi)-d(pi) bonding..the molecule is paramagnetic since it has one electron in a p-orbital...
now often odd electron molecules dimerizes in order to pair the electron but ClO2 does not ...this is probably due to the reason that odd electron is delocalized as it is involved in p(pi)-d(pi) bonding..
in contrast the odd electron on N in NO2 is localized as nitrogen does not contain a d orbital...

What form is nitrite found in?
The nitrite ion is (NO2)-.
What is no2 H2O?
H2O is water NO2 is nitrogen dioxide they can react together in the atmosphere to form acid rain 2NO2 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2 H2O is water NO2 is nitrogen dioxide they can react together in the atmosphere to form acid rain 2NO2 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2
Of what use is sodium chlorate?
Sodium Chlorate (NaClO3) is used for Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) production. ClO2 is used as a bleaching agent for pulp.
What dose no2 stand for?
if you mean NO2, then 1 Nitrogen, 2 Oxygen. It is a toxic brown gas called nitrogen dioxide. if you mean No2, then no such substance exists. No is the element called nobelium. Since it is a metal it does not form molecules.
Is NO2 a electrophile?
NO2+ is.
Why does NO2 readily forms a dimer?
stupid question..!
How many small molecules are joined to form a dimer?
Two monomers are joined to make a dimer.
What is the dimer of RNA?
The opposite sequence, so the two strands can bind together to form a dimer.
Does oxygen react with its neighbouring element?
Yes it does react with its neighbouring atoms, forming oxides (such as NO2, NO, SO2, SO3) or oxy halides (such as ClO, ClO2, OF2)
What is the name for the chemical formula N2O4?
It is Dinitrogen Tetroxide, also called Nitrogen peroxide. It is a dimer of Nitrogen dioxide, and exists in an equilibrium: NO2 ⇄ N2O4
What is the Lewis formula for the octet rule for the ions ClO2?
There is ClO2 and ClO2^-. For the chlorite anion (ClO2^-) the Cl will have 10 electrons and will violate the octet rule. For ClO2, all elements will have 8 electrons.
How would the equilibrium change if NO2 were added to SO2(g) NO2(g) NO(g) SO3(g) heat?
The amount of NO2 and SO2 eould
Write the formula of the conjugate base for acid HClO2?
The conjugate base of perchloric acid is the ion chlorate (ClO4)-.
What is the decomposition equation for CLO2?
ClO2 → Cl + O2
How does NO2 contribute to tropospheric ozone?
NO2 can be part of troposphere ozone. It can be decomposed and react with oxygen to form ozone.
What form is nitrite found in?
The nitrite ion is (NO2)-.
What will form when NO2 react with HCl?
nacl2+h2
