Question
Chemistry Question on Bond Parameters
Which of the following pair of molecules contain odd electron molecule and an expanded octet molecule?
A
BCl3 and SF6
B
NO and H2SO4
C
SF6 and H2SO4
D
BCl3 and NO
Answer
NO and H2SO4
Explanation
Solution
NO is an odd electron species as N has 5 valence electrons and O has 6 valence electrons. Thus overall 1 electron on N remains unpaired.
S in H2SO4 has an expanded octet thus H2SO4 is expanded octet molecule.
So, the correct option is (B): NO and H2SO4
