Describe being odd electron molecule, `NO` is colourless. Explain.

Answer» In NO molecule, the odd electron is involved in bonding between two bonded atoms, and the excitation of it is difficult (possible only in uv region) In `NO_(2)` the unpaired electron can be excited easily by absorption of vissible light
Thus NO is colourless and `NO_(2)` is coloured.
