Which is the IUPAC name for NO?

Answer
A
nitric oxide
B
binitrogen oxide
C
dinitrogen dioxide
D
nitrogen monoxide

Explanation

NO contains one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom. For a binary molecular compound, use the element names with prefixes to show the atom counts; one oxygen is “monoxide,” giving nitrogen monoxide. “Nitric oxide” is a common name, not the systematic name sought here.
