Odd molecule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (148 words)
Odd molecule is a term invented by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916 for a molecule containing an odd number of electrons.
A fine example is nitric oxide, q.v.; nitrogen dioxide is another; chlorine dioxide is also an example, being a reddish-yellow gas.
When including d-shell elements, i.e., the transition metals, the concept mostly doesn't apply, and this 'odd' state is not so unusual.
Gilbert N. Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1119 words)
Gilbert Newton Lewis (October 23, 1875-March 23, 1946) was a famous American physical chemist.
In 1916, he formulated the idea that a covalent bond consisted of a shared pair of electrons and defined the term odd molecule when an electron is not shared.
His ideas on chemical bonding were expanded upon by Irving Langmuir and became the inspiration for the studies on the nature of the chemical bond by Linus Pauling.
