Question

NO2 readily form a dimer. explain

Answer 1

Because of the presence of unpaired odd electron which is susceptible to undergo reaction. So it dimerise and form N2O4. In NO2 structure there is an unpaired electron left on Nitrogen atom, so it is reactive it dimerises to pair up its electron and gains stability as N2O4.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nitrogen dioxide(NO2) contains odd no. of electrons it behaves as an odd electron-molecule and therefore undergoes dimerisation to form stable....
