Best Answer

Yes.

The simplest molecule NO cannot follow the Octet Rule. Since there is an odd number of valence electrons, complete electron pairing is impossible. NO is a free radical with an unpaired electron, but is relatively stable and is an important in biological systems.

The other odd electron oxide is NO2, this is more stable than NO and is in equilibrium with N2O4.

There are many nitrogen oxides and oxo-anions NO3-, and NO2-.

Nitrogen oxygen bonds can be single covalent bonds or double bonds (pi bonds).

What is the Bond Length between Nitrogen and Oxygen in a covalent bond?

Covalent bond


Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?

No. An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Since oxygen and nitrogen are both nonmetals, they form a covalent bond.


What type of bond is present in NO?

The bond between nitrogen and oxygen in this compound is a double bond which is covalent.


Which element has the greater bond energy Oxygen or Nitrogen?

The bond between nitrogen atoms in an N2 molecule is stronger than the bond between oxygen atoms in an O2 molecule. However, bond energies for the same atom vary with formulas of compounds, so that there is no answer to this question that is correct for every compound of these two elements.


Is NO a single covalent bond?

This compound makes a double covalent bond between nitrogen and oxygen.

What is connected to a hydrogen bond?

The hydrogen bond is a bond between two electronegative atoms, specifically oxygen or nitrogen. Thus to hydrogen bond, an electronegative atom is connected.


What are likely to form an ionic bond magnesium and sulfur or nitrogen and oxygen?

Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
