Nitrogen oxide (NO) is colorless because it consists of only one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom, which do not absorb visible light. On the other hand, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a brown gas because it consists of one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, leading to the absorption of light in the visible spectrum, giving it a brown color.
What else can I help you with?
Colours of the oxides of nitrogen?
It depends on the oxide. Nitrogen oxide and dinitrogen tetroxide are colorless gases, Nitrogen dioxide is brown gas, etc.
What color is nitric oxide gas?
NO-gas is colourless
Why is nitrogen oxide colourless while nitrogen dioxide is brown in colour?
It all depends on the frequencies of light the compounds reflect and absorb. The color you see is reflected light at a certain frequency(corresponding to a combination of certain colors in the electromagnetic spectrum), while the rest is absorbed. For example, the Nitrogen Oxide molecule absorb light at a frequency out of the visible range, and reflect all colors we can see. That is why we see that Nitrogen gas is a white gas(if the gas if concentrated enough). As for nitrogen dioxide, the molecules absorb a certain color. All the other colors are reflected as a brown color.
What does nitrogen combined with oxgyen form?
Nitrogen combines with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO) depending on the conditions. Nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas with a sharp odor and is a pollutant in the atmosphere. Nitric oxide is a colorless gas and is involved in various biological processes.
Which gas is colourless in a periodic table?
Nitrogen is a colorless gas that can be found on the periodic table.
What is the colour of fumes of nitrogen oxide gas?
Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless nontoxic gas.
Colours of the oxides of nitrogen?

Is NO a colourless gas?
Yes, nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a colorless gas at room temperature.
Is nitrogen invisible?
Nitrogen is a colourless gas, therefore it cannot be seen.
What brown coloured gas evolveed when lead nitrate crystals are heated in adry test tube?
The brown colored gas that evolves when lead nitrate crystals are heated in a dry test tube is nitrogen dioxide.

Is Nitrogen Dioxide a brown gas?
Yes it is, its not sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide or nitric Oxide.
