Chapter 16, Problem 16.33E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the compounds, $\text{NO}$, ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$, ${\text{N}}_2{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$, and ${\text{N}}_2{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}$, the compounds that are ESR active are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The full form of ESR spectroscopy is electron-spin resonance spectroscopy. The ESR spectroscopy is used to observe those materials which contain unpaired electrons. ESR spectroscopy also works like NMR spectroscopy, but, in ESR, electron spin in spite of atomic nuclei spin gets excited.
