Question

nitrogen monoxide is formed during lighting give reason

Answer 1

Natural Sources - Lighting Bolts

A natural source of nitrogen oxides occurs from a lightning stroke. The very high temperature in the vicinity of a lightning bolt causes the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react to form nitric oxide.

N2 + O2 --> NO

The nitric oxide very quickly reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide.

NO + O2 --> NO2

Both of the nitrogen compounds are known collectively as nitrogen oxides or NOx.

Answer 2

Answer:

because during lighting oxygen and nitrogen get mixed up and nitrogen oxide is formed.
