∙ 14y agoThis question is ambiguous. Most likely the sought answer is that carbon dioxide is the odd substance because it is a compound and the other two are elements, but it is also true that both oxygen and carbon dioxide contain oxygen and hydrogen does not, so that hydrogen could be considered odd.

Can there be a bond between nitrogen and oxygen?
Yes. The simplest molecule NO cannot follow the Octet Rule. Since there is an odd number of valence electrons, complete electron pairing is impossible. NO is a free radical with an unpaired electron, but is relatively stable and is an important in biological systems. The other odd electron oxide is NO2, this is more stable than NO and is in equilibrium with N2O4. There are many nitrogen oxides and oxo-anions NO3-, and NO2-. Nitrogen oxygen bonds can be single covalent bonds or double bonds (pi bonds).
Why doesn't the earth run out of oxygen?
Oxygen is produced by other oranisms, including plant life. Although it may seem odd we don't run out of air when there's so many creatures breathing, think of all the plants that are taking our carbon dioxide and giving us oxygen! It's a cycle.
Why only lithium form nitrides?
Lithium is the only alkali metal (group 1) to form a nitride when burnt in air. (This is however common with the alkaline earth metals (group2), e.g. Mg3N2 . Note that sodium nitride is known. the 3 :1 ratio of elements in the group 1 nitrides leads to a high coordination number for the nitride ion in a lattice. Lithium has the smallest ionic radius of all of the group 1 metals. The structure of Li3N is unusual - each nitrogen is surrounded by eight lithium atoms, 6 in the same plane. The determination as to why one rection goes and an other doesn't is complex and requires an understanding of the thermodynamics, the so-called Born-Haber cycle. In VERY simple terms it is probably the stability of this odd structure that makes this compound stable whereas Na3N, K3N etc (where Na, K etc are bigger than Li) are not. Sodium nitride, Na3N is a strange solid- a semiconductor with ionic character- and has a different structure from Li3N with 6 coordinate nitrogen.
What is the Lewis dot structure of NO2 cationic ligand?
. O_N_O --- Uh. I don't think so. NO2 doesn't come out so pretty. There are exceptions to our good friend, the octet rule. Things get sticky here. First of all, you have to calculate the valence electrons of the molecule. (You see this by the group they're in.) So, N = 5 O = 6 (but there's 2!) so that's 12. 12 + 5 = 17. Uh oh. Houston, we have a problem. Electrons like to "pair up", so having an odd number of e- messes things up (in other words, the bond that carries that one lonely e- is really "freaking out" aka it really isn't that stable.) There is absolutely no way you can satisfy the octet rule. (Trust me, if you wanna try it anyway, be my guest.) So, the closest you can get is: O - N = O (don't forget to add the dots/electrons! On mine, I showed the extra electron being on one of the oxygen's.) I know, I know. It's weird. Hope I helped! CHEM-is-TRY.
What is the equilibrium of 6H2O plus 6CO2- C6H12O6 plus 6O2?
That is a somewhat odd question, even aside from the fact that you & I can't do proper subscripts as chemical notation requires. To translate the formulae into names, you are asking about the equilibrium state of water, carbon dioxide, sugar, and oxygen. These chemicals can co-exist in any concentration; they do not necessarily react with eachother, except at high temperature when the sugar and the oxygen will combine.
Which is odd from amongst the following bacteria carbon dioxide oxygen antibiotics?
carbon dioxide
What is the odd one out oxygen iron carbon or sulfur?
Iron. Iron is a metal while the others are nonmetals
Give an exapmle molecule of an odd electron?
Nitric oxide (NO) is an example of a molecule with an odd electron. It has one unpaired electron in its molecular orbital diagram, making it a radical.
When nitrogen dioxide is heated it splts what are the 2 elemets that ARE LEFET?
The thermal decomposition of NO2 is NO2 --> NO + O2 The questionis a bit "odd", what is left??? Well NO and O2 wich contain nitrogen and oxygen , you didn't need to know anything about what happened- as nitrogen dioxide contains only two elements, nitrogen and oxygen, these must be present in whatever products it splits into.

What is the odd man out lemon juice brass milk or carbon?
Carbon is the odd one out, because that's the only element in this row
What five chemicals elements make up 93-97 of the biomass in plants animails fungi and bacteria?
CHNOPS are the elements you are looking for. I always pronounce this odd word as chin ops. C= carbon, H = hydrogen, N= nitrogen, O= oxygen, P=phosphorous, and S=sulphur. These are in order of the amount they are found in plants and animals.
What is nitrogen rule?
If a compound contains an even number of nitrogen atoms (or no nitrogen atoms), its molecular ion will appear at an even mass number. If, however, a compound contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms, then its molecular ion will appear at an odd mass value. This rule is very useful for determining the nitrogen content of an unknown compound.
What are the major gases present in the atmosphere today?
The primary greenhouse gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. They are mixed throughout the atmosphere.The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and water vapor.
Why the melting point of carboxylic acids with even carbon number are greater than odd carbon number carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids with odd number carbon atoms are packed in crystals less efficiently than those that have even numbers.
Separate the odd member from Iron Gold Carbon Silver?
Among iron, gold, carbon, and silver, the odd member is carbon, the only non-metal of the group. On the periodic table, the three metals are all in the central "transitional metals" area, but carbon is on the right side among the non-metals.
