`NO` is paramagnetic, while `NO^(oplus)` is diamagnetic.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why NO (nitric oxide) is paramagnetic while NO⁺ (nitric oxide positive) is diamagnetic, we can analyze their electronic configurations and the presence of unpaired electrons. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Molecular Structure of NO:** - Nitric oxide (NO) consists of one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom. - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, and oxygen has 6 valence electrons, giving a total of 11 valence electrons for the NO molecule. ...
