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]
Dinitrogen oxide can potentially refer to any of at least four compounds: Dinitrogen monoxide (nitrous oxide), N 2 O Dinitrogen dioxide , N 2 O 2 , an unstable dimer of 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).
During the daytime, NO 3 is quickly photolyzed back to NO 2, but at night it can react with a second NO 2 to form dinitrogen pentoxide. NO 2 + NO 3 (+M) → N 2 O 5 (+M). N 2 O 5 reacts rapidly with liquid water (in aerosol particles or cloud drops, but not in the gas phase) to form HNO 3, N 2 O 5 + H 2 O (liq) → 2 HNO 3 (aq)
In the solid state it is ionic with structure [NO 2] + [NO 3] −; as a gas and in solution it is molecular O 2 N–O–NO 2. Hydration to nitric acid comes readily, as does analogous reaction with hydrogen peroxide giving peroxonitric acid (HOONO 2). It is a violent oxidising agent. Gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes as follows: [15]
