Vedclass · Answer

(B) free radical is a species that contains an odd number of electrons,making it paramagnetic and highly reactive.In $NO$,the total number of valence electrons is $5$ (from $N$) $+ 6$ (from $O$) $= 11$,which is an odd number.In $CO_2$,the total number of valence electrons is $4$ (from $C$) $+ 2 	imes 6$ (from $O$) $= 16$ (even).In $NO_2^{-}$,the total number of valence electrons is $5$ (from $N$) $+ 2 	imes 6$ (from $O$) $+ 1$ (negative charge) $= 18$ (even).In $CN^{-}$,the total number of valence electrons is $4$ (from $C$) $+ 5$ (from $N$) $+ 1$ (negative charge) $= 10$ (even).Therefore,$NO$ is the radical.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A$. $CH_3-O^{+}=CH-CH_3$	$1$. Stable due to resonance
$B$. $F_3C^{+}$	$2$. Destabilised due to inductive effect
$C$. $(CH_3)_3C^{-}$	$3$. Stabilised by hyperconjugation
$D$. $CH_3-CH^{+}-CH_3$	$4$. $A$ secondary carbocation
