Why NO2 dimerise?
In the NO2 molecule the nitrogen atom has a single unpaired electron. The molecule will tend to dimerise so that this unpaired electron can be paired with another to form the N2O4 molecule.
Is N2O5 ionic or covalent?
There is no known species as N2O6. NO3 is a transient planar molecule, with an unpaired electron. N2O5 in the solid is NO2+ NO3- in the vapour and solution it is molecular, probably O2-N-O-NO2. N2O4 is a planar molecule O2N-NO2
Why NO2 is bent in shape?
NO2 is an odd electron molecule - it has 17 valence electrons. There is one unpaired electron which "sits" on the nitrogen. The VSEPR model deals specifically with electron pair repulsion so strictly you can't use it to predict the shape. However what you do is assume that the lone pair orbital is only half filled and is not as repulsive as a true lone pair. So treat it as AX2E compound and therefore bent, but as E is not so repulsive the ONO angle opens out to be greater than 1200, which is in fact true, its 134 0
What is the electron domain of NO2?
It would be trigonal planar. The N central atom has a double bonded O and a single bonded O and one lone electron.
The final electron acceptor in glycolysis is?
The final electron acceptor in photosynthesis is NADP+
What is the number of lone electron pairs in the NO2 ion?
NO2 only has one lone electron
Why ClO2 do not form dimer but NO2 can?
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...
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).

What is the number of lone electron pairs in the NO2- ion?
6

What is the meaning of electrophilic?
electrophilic addition reaction
What is the bond angle for NO2?
134.3o. It is a bent molecule, but because of the additional electron pairs on the O atoms, the bond angle is deviated from 120o.
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.
Is no2 a free radical?
Though nitrogen dioxide has a single lone electron, it is not a radical, but a stable molecule.

It would be trigonal planar. The N central atom has a double bonded O and a single bonded O and one lone electron.
