typical mistake: *The students went on strike, but no the teachers.
To make a sentence or part of a sentence negative, we generally use not.
-The students went on strike, but not the teachers.
-I can see you tommorow, but not on Thusrday or Friday.
"are you happy?" - 'Not really.'
"Who's paying?" - 'Not me.'

if no is used together with a noun, it means not a or not any.

No teachers went on strike.
I've got no Thursdays free this term.
She had no idea what I meant

Note that no is a determiner, and cannot be used together with another determiner; *no the teacher is possible.
No can also be used with an -ing form. for example: No smoking, No parking, No waiting, etc.
