None of these

Vedclass · Answer

(D) An odd electron species is a radical containing an unpaired electron.$CH_3^+$ is a carbocation with $sp^2$ hybridization and a planar geometry,but it has an even number of electrons ($6$ valence electrons),so it is not an odd electron species.$\dot{Cl}O_3$ (chlorine trioxide radical) has a pyramidal geometry due to the presence of a lone electron and lone pairs,making it non-planar.$\dot{C}F_3$ (trifluoromethyl radical) has a pyramidal geometry because the lone electron occupies an $sp^3$ hybridized orbital,making it non-planar.Therefore,none of the given options represent a planar odd electron species.

Which of the following odd electron species is planar?
