N2O is diamagnetic or paramagnetic

Though NO2 is paramagnetic, its dimer, N2O4, is diamagnetic. The two unpaired electrons in the two NO2 units get paired while forming the dimer, and so N2O4 isdiamagnetic with even number of electrons.

Look carefully I asked for N 2 O

N2O should be paramagnetic as it has a odd electron but i think n2O is not stable and quickly form dimerN2O4 which has even electronic configuration and hence diamagnetic
