At room temperature, the reaction between NO and O₂ to give NO₂ is fast while that of between CO and O₂ is slow. It is because

• the intrinsic energy of the reaction 2NO + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 2NO₂ is less

• CO is smaller in size than that of NO

• CO is poisonous

• the activation energy for the reaction 2 NO + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 2NO₂ is less
