another place where nitrogen oxide is found
Nitrous Oxide - Ewan Cameron and Paul May Bristol University. Molecule of the Month June 1999 Also available: JSMol version. I am sure the air in heaven must be this wonder working gas of delight. So wrote poet Robert Southey of nitrous oxide, N 2 O, also known as nitrogen oxide, dinitrogen monoxide, hyponitrous acid anhydride and facticious air. However, its most well known name is 'laughing gas' due to its intoxicating effects when inhaled. The very high temperature in the vicinity of a lightning bolt causes the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react to form nitric oxide. n 2 + o 2--> no The nitric oxide very quickly reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. The very high temperature in the vicinity of a lightning bolt causes the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react to form nitric oxide. N 2 + O 2--> NO. The nitric oxide very quickly reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. NO + O 2--> NO 2. Both of the nitrogen compounds are known collectively as nitrogen oxides or NO x. A natural source of nitrogen oxides occurs from a lightning stroke. The very high temperature in the vicinity of a lightning bolt causes the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react to form nitric oxide. N 2 + O 2--> NO.

Nitrous oxide, N 2 O, is a colourless, almost odourless gas, that was first discovered in 1772 by the English scientist and clergyman Joseph Priestley (who was also famous for being the first to isolate other important gases such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide).

Colton agreed, administered nitrous oxide to Dr. Wells while another local dentist extracted one of Wells' molars. Dr. Wells experienced no pain during the procedure, and the birth of N 2 O as a dental and medical painkiller had arrived.
