Short Answer
If we use the same molecular orbital energy level scheme for the valence orbitals in the NO ion as is used for diatomic O2 through N2 molecules,
σ2s < σ*2s < σ2p(z)< π2p(y), π2p(x) < π*2p(y), π*2p(x)< σ*2p(z)
how many unpaired electrons are there in the antibonding orbitals of the system?
