Which of the following properties is not shown by NO?


A) It is diamagnetic in gaseous state

B) It is neutral oxide

C) It combine with oxygen to form nitrogen oxide.

D) Its bond order is 2.5

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

 NO is paramagnetic in a gaseous state because in gaseous state, it has one unpaired electron.

  Total number of electron  present =7+8   = 15 e-

 Hence, there must be the presence of unpaired electron in gaseous state while in liquid state. it dimerises due to unpaired electron.
