Nitrogen monoxide is one nitrogen molecule (atomic weight 14) combined with one oxygen molecule (atomic weight 16). The atomic weight for NO is (14 +16 =) 30.

Nitrogen dioxide is one nitrogen molecule (atomic weight 14) combined with two oxygen molecules (atomic weight 16). The atomic weight for NO2 is [14 + (2×16)] = 46.

Nitrogen also forms a few more stable oxides; N2O Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas),

NO3 Nitrogen Trioxide, and N2O5 Di-nitrogen Pentoxide (Nitric Acid Anhydride).

What is the difference between the coefficient of simple determination and that of multiple determination?

The coefficient of simple determination tells the proportion of variance in one variable that can be accounted for (or explained) by variance in another variable. The coefficient of multiple determination is the Proportion of variance X and Y share with Z; or proportion of variance in Z that can be explained by X & Y.

Is carbon dioxide a polyatomic ion?

Carbon monoxide is not a polyatomic ion. In fact, it isn't an ion at all! Carbon monoxide does consist of two different elements (and is therefore a bimolecular compound), but it is a neutral species.
