The number of molecules or ions from the following, which do not have odd number of electrons are _____ .
(A) NO2
(B) ICl4-
(C) BrF3
(D) ClO2
(E) NO2+
(F) NO

Solution

ICl4-,BrF3 and NO2+ do not have odd number of e- as we can see from their lewis structures respectively:
 and

The number of electrons in NO223e-,NO15e- and ClO233e- are odd.
