I hope it'll help♥️
Explanation:
The number of electrons in Nitrogen are 7 and in oxygen are 8. ... Therefore NO is an odd electron species and the gas is hence paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electron. In the liquid and the solid state, the gas dimerises. The unpaired electron becomes paired and NO is therefore diamagnetic
