No
No answers a yes/no question.
"No, the president wasn't surprised by the results of the election."
No precedes a noun that has no article.
The company had no worthy rivals in the industry.
No can be used before a noun that is preceded by an adjective, as in the preceding example, but it is not used before any, much, many, or enough.
Jim has no argument with which to continue the discussion.
The manager had no reason to support his request for a raise.
