Q Explain the reason for the answer.
Which of the following oxide of nitrogen is thermally most stable?
Dear student
NO is the thermally most stable oxide of nitrogen. It decomposes above 10000 C.
the thermal stability is the stability of a molecule at high temperatures; i.e. a molecule with more stability has more resistance to decomposition at high temperatures

Above room temperature, N2O5 is unstable and decomposes to N2O4 and O2 .
N2O5 and N2O3 are the oxides of nitrogen which are acid anhydrides and they react with water to form nitrogen-containing oxyacids.
N2O5 + H2O ----> 2HNO2
N2O3 + H2O -----> 2HNO2
N2O decomposes around 850k.
