Question

Nitric oxide is paramagnetic in gaseous state but diamagnetic in liquid and

solid state why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

NO has odd no. of electrons (7+8=15) and due to the presence of unpaired electron, it is paramagnetic in the gaseous state. However, in the liquid and solid states, the unpaired electrons are involved in the formation of loose dimer. In the absence of any unpaired electron, it is diamagnetic in nature.

Answer 2

Nitric oxide has odd no. of electrons (7+8=15)

due to the presence of unpaired electron, it is paramagnetic in the gaseous state.

However, in the liquid and solid states, the unpaired electrons are involved in the formation of loose dimer. In the absence of any unpaired electron, it is diamagnetic in nature.
