excellent q
which level is this ?
at a very basic level you will note Oxygen is valent-2 and nitrogen valent - 3
so er...ntiric oxide shouldnt exist (but is reactive and oxidises quickly in air)
have you done dative bonds ?
if you have then it could be(but isnt)
N == O
<----
and the arrow shows a dative bond between oxygen and nitrogen
as you get further in this
you have to get your head around Molecular orbital theory and if you refer to a text, the molecular orbitals for CO and NO are identical
but I will let you read that (I think pi anti bonding orbitals come into it and I get a headache)
