Which one of the following properties is not shown by NO?
Answer»
It is diamangetic in gaseous STATE. It is a NEUTRALOXIDE. It combines with OXYGEN to form nitrogen dioxide. Its bond order is 2.5.
Solution :NO is paramagnetic in gaseous state because it has one unpaired electron. However, it dimerises at low temperature to become diamagnetic. It combines with `O_(2)` to form `NO_(2)` and is neutral oxide and has bond order of 2.5.
