The associativity of OR and AND is not at all obvious. It is tempting to assume that because OR and AND are commutative that they must be associative also. This is not the case, however, and some commutative Boolean operators are not associative. Examples include NAND and NOR.
The output state of the NOR gate will be high (1) when all the inputs are low (0). NOR gate returns the complement result of the OR gate.
