Nitric oxide is paramagnetic in :
Nitric oxide is paramagnetic in :
- A. gaseous state.
- B. liquid state
- C. solid state
- D. polymeric state
Step-by-step solution
Nitric oxide (NO) has an unpaired electron, making it paramagnetic in the gaseous state. In liquid, solid, or polymeric states, NO dimerizes to form (NO)₂, which pairs the electrons and results in diamagnetism.
