In case
of ClO2 odd electron is delocalized
over 3 atoms so extent of delocalization of odd electron is higher in
comparison to NO. Hence tendency of demerisation of a NO is faster that of ClO2.
We know that tendency of
demerisation of ClO2 is very poor rather negligible at normal
condition as odd electron is delocalized over entire molecule however below
-180 ℃ it has been found in
dimeric form.
