how to find out odd electron species?

Answers

Answered by seizure

While the majority of compounds formed from atoms below atomic number 20 follow the octet rule, there are many examples of compounds that do not.

Having an odd number of electrons in a molecule guarantees that it does not follow the octet rule, because the rule requires eight electrons (or two for hydrogen) around each atom.

The most commonly encountered stable species that exist with an odd number of electrons are nitrogen oxides, such as nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), both of which are free radicals and disobey the octet rule.
