NO2 is an odd electron molecule

The dimer, N2O4 has no unpaired electron.

Q. $N O_{2}$ and $N_{2} O_{4}$ are two forms of nitrogen dioxide. One exists in gaseous state while other in liquid state. The nature of $N O_{2}$ and $N_{2} O_{4}$ forms are:

both are paramagnetic

both are diamagnetic

$N O_{2}$ is paramagnetic while $N_{2} O_{4}$ is diamagnetic

$N O_{2}$ is diamagnetic while $N_{2} O_{4}$ is paramagnetic

$N O_{2}$ is an odd electron molecule

The dimer, $N_{2} O_{4}$ has no unpaired electron.
