NO is paramagnetic in gaseous state but diamagnetic in liquid and solid states - Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In gaseous state `NO_(2)` exists as a Monomer and contains one unpaired electron but in solid state it dimerises to `N_(2)O_(4)` so it doesnot contain unpaired electron.
Hence `NO_(2)` is parce magnetic is geseous state but diamagnetic in solid state.
