Nitric oxide is paramagnetic in :

1. gaseous state.
2. liquid state
3. solid state
4. polymeric state

Correct answer: gaseous state.

Solution

Nitric oxide (NO) has 11 valence electrons, so in the gaseous state it contains one unpaired electron and is paramagnetic. In condensed or polymeric forms, pairing/interactions can remove this behavior.
