(a)
Interpretation: Odd-electron molecules among the given nitrogen oxides are to be identified.
Concept introduction: A molecule is said to be an odd-electron when the sum of the valence electrons of all the atoms in a molecules is odd that is the total number of bonds formed in a molecule is a fraction.
To determine: If the given nitrogen oxide is an odd-electron molecule.
