Describe being odd electron molecule, `NO` is colourless. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In NO molecule, the odd electron is involved in bonding between two bonded atoms, and the excitation of it is difficult (possible only in uv region) In `NO_(2)` the unpaired electron can be excited easily by absorption of vissible light
Thus NO is colourless and `NO_(2)` is coloured.
