Nitrogen is known to form a variety of oxides and oxyacids. NO and N2O are unstable, while NO2 is a stable oxide. NO2 is a brown acidic gas at room temperature and on cooling below 20°C gives N2O4.  NO2/N2O4dissolves in water to give nitric acid. N2O4 reacts with NO to form N2O3. When some metals react with dil. HNO3 at room temperature, oxides of nitrogen in lower oxidation states are formed. The correct statement is
