Question:medium

Which one of the following statements about NO is wrong?

Show Hint

NH\(_4\)NO\(_3\) \(\xrightarrow{200^{\circ}C}\) N\(_2\)O + 2H\(_2\)O; above 250\(^{\circ}\)C it decomposes explosively.

Updated On: Apr 23, 2026

NO is an odd electron molecule
It is a free radical and highly reactive
It readily forms complexes with transition metal ions
It can be prepared by heating NH\(_4\)NO\(_3\) at 250\(^{\circ}\)C
