NO (Nitric Oxide)
Definition
NO (nitric oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless, non-flammable, oxidizing, poisonous gas with a slightly irritating odour. It consists of one nitrogen atom bonded to one oxygen atom. It is highly reactive due to the presence of one unpaired electron. Thus, this results in rapid oxidation (within a few minutes) to form NO2.
