NO2 only has one lone electron

It is not a ligand because does not have a lone pair of electrons but nitrite NO2-1 is a strong basic or strong field ligand.
Though nitrogen dioxide has a single lone electron, it is not a radical, but a stable molecule.
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.

In N: 2+5(= valence) = 7 electronsIn 3*O: 3*[2+6(= valence)] = 24 electronsIn negative ion charge (-1) = 1 electronIn total 32 ( = 7 + 3*8 + 1 ) of which 5 + 3*6 + 1 = 24 valence electrons in (12) covalent bonds (12 pairs).

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
NO2 Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons Oxygen has (6*2) =12 valence electrons therefore, the total number of valence electron =12 +5 = 17valence electrons.
Yes, some molecular compounds such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) contain unpaired electrons.
Molar mass NO2 = 46.0 g/mole1.18 g NO2 x 1 mol NO2/46.0 g = 0.0257 moles NO2 (to 3 significant figures)
Determine the molar mass of NO2 using the subscripts in the formula and the atomic weights in grams from the periodic table. 1 mole NO2 = (1 x 14.0067g N) + (2 x 15.9994g O) = 46.0055g NO2 Calculate the moles NO2 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 25.5g NO2 x (1mol NO2/46.0055g NO2) = 0.554mol NO2
4.651024 molecules of NO2 equals 7,721 moles.
