Nitric oxide, NO·, is a radical thought to cause ozone destruction by a mechanism similar to that of hydrofluorocarbons. One source of NO· in the stratosphere is supersonic aircraft whose jet engines convert small amounts of N2 and O2 to NO·. Write the propagation steps for the reaction of O3 with NO·.

O3 + NO. = O2. + NO2

2O. +NO2 = NO. + 2O2

Explanation:

NO. = Radical

O. & O2. = Radical

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

explanation:

i think option no d is the correct answer
