Best Answer

Elements prefer to live in their natural forms.

N2 and O2 are more stable than NO.

Added:

Air is a mixture of N2 and O2 molecules, where NO is a compound, chemically formed by reaction: N2 + O2 --> 2 NO. This reaction does not take place at normal conditions as in the air around us.
