Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia
WEBNitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, factitious air, among others, [4] is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N 2 O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste. [4]

WEBNitrous oxide. Gaseous nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is prepared by the careful thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 2), (8.4.1). Nitrous oxide is a linear molecule (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)a) that is isoelectronic (and isostructural) with carbon dioxide.
Nitric oxide - Wikipedia
WEBIn water, nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrous acid (HNO 2). The reaction is thought to proceed via the following stoichiometry: 4 • NO + O 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 HNO 2. Nitric oxide reacts with fluorine, chlorine, and bromine to form the nitrosyl halides, such as nitrosyl chloride: 2 • NO + Cl 2 → 2 NOCl.
NOx - Wikipedia
WEBIn atmospheric chemistry, NO x is shorthand for nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), the nitrogen oxides that are most relevant for air pollution. [1] [2] These gases contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain, as well as affecting tropospheric ozone.
