No, the word 'none' is an indefinite pronoun and an adverb.

The indefinite pronoun 'none' takes the place of a noun for an unknown or unnamed number.

The indefinite pronoun 'none' functions in a sentence as a noun, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the objective of a verb or a preposition.

The indefinite pronoun 'none' functions as a singular or plural.

Examples:
Did you turn off the water main? None is coming from this tap. (subject of the second sentence)
I heard that none are coming due to the storm. (subject of the relative clause)
I thought we had cinnamon but I found none. (direct object of the verb 'found')

The adverb 'none' is most often part of an adverbial phrase.
Example: My check arrived none too soon. (the adverbial phrase modifies the verb 'arrived')
