  2. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    Though nitrous oxide is emitted during its application, it is then reacted in atmosphere to form nitrogen oxides. This third source is attributed to the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen, N 2 , with radicals such as C, CH, and CH 2 fragments derived from fuel, [ 26 ] rather than thermal or fuel processes.

  3. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, or 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]

  4. Nitrogen oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_oxide

    NO y (or NOy) refers to the sum of NO x and all oxidized atmospheric odd-nitrogen species (e.g. the sum of NO x, HNO 3, HNO 2, etc.) NO z (or NOz) = NO y − NO x; Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen ("MON"): solutions of nitric oxide in dinitrogen tetroxide/nitrogen dioxide.

  5. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

    Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide [1]) is a colorless gas with the formula NO. It is one of the principal oxides of nitrogen . Nitric oxide is a free radical : it has an unpaired electron , which is sometimes denoted by a dot in its chemical formula ( • N=O or • NO).

  6. Recreational use of nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_use_of...

    Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), commonly referred to as laughing gas, along with various street names, is an inert gas which can induce euphoria, dissociation, hallucinogenic states of mind, and relaxation when inhaled. [1] Nitrous oxide has no acute biochemical or cellular toxicity and is not metabolized in humans or other mammals.

  7. Nitrous oxide engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_engine

    A nitrous oxide engine, or nitrous oxide system (NOS) is an internal combustion engine in which oxygen for burning the fuel comes from the decomposition of nitrous oxide, N 2 O, as well as air. The system increases the engine's power output by allowing fuel to be burned at a higher-than-normal rate, because of the higher partial pressure of ...

  8. Reactive nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_nitrogen

    While nitrogen is an essential element for life on Earth, molecular nitrogen is comparatively unreactive, and must be converted to other chemical forms via nitrogen fixation before it can be used for growth. Common Nr species include nitrogen oxides (NO x), ammonia (NH 3), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), as well as the anion nitrate (NO − 3).

  9. Nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle

    Nitrogen is present in the environment in a wide variety of chemical forms including organic nitrogen, ammonium (NH + 4), nitrite (NO − 2), nitrate (NO − 3), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), nitric oxide (NO) or inorganic nitrogen gas (N 2). Organic nitrogen may be in the form of a living organism, humus or in the intermediate products of organic ...
