Question

NO2 is radical but CO2 is molecule, why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Except that NO2 is a V-shaped molecule, and CO2 is linear. Why are NO2 and CO2 different shapes? two N=O double bonds and no unpaired electrons, so repulsion between the two regions of electron density is minimised by the 180° bond angle, and it is linear, as with CO2.
