Solution

A chemical equation is said to be balanced if it has an equal number of atoms on both sides.
In the given equation, count the number of atoms. The number of nitrogen and oxygen atom is double on the reactant side.
To make it equal, multiply the product by 2 and the equation will be balanced as shown below-
$N_{2} + O_{2} \underset{}{\to}$ $2 N O$
