When an electron occupies a 2s orbital on an N atom it has a hyperfine interaction of 55.2 mT with the nucleus. The spectrum of NO2 shows an isotropic hyperfine interaction of 5.7 mT. For what proportion of its time is the unpaired electron of NO2 occupying a 2s orbital? The hyperfine coupling constant for an electron in a 2p orbital of an N atom is 3.4 mT. In NO2 the anisotropic part of the hyperfine coupling is 1.3 mT. What proportion of its time does the unpaired electron spend in the 2p orbital of the N atom in NO2? What is the total probability that the electron will be found on (a) the N atoms, (b) the O atoms? What is the hybridization ratio of the N atom? Does the hybridization support the view that NO2 is angular?
