Nitrogen oxide

Nitrogen oxide may refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds:

Charge-neutral

  • Nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen(II) oxide, or nitrogen monoxide
  • Nitrogen dioxide (), nitrogen(IV) oxide
  • Nitrogen trioxide (), or nitrate radical
  • Nitrous oxide (), nitrogen(0,II) oxide
  • Dinitrogen dioxide (), nitrogen(II) oxide dimer
  • Dinitrogen trioxide (), nitrogen(II,IV) oxide
  • Dinitrogen tetroxide (), nitrogen(IV) oxide dimer
  • Dinitrogen pentoxide (), nitrogen(V) oxide, or nitronium nitrate
  • Nitrosyl azide (), nitrogen(−I,0,I,II) oxide
  • Nitryl azide ()
  • Oxatetrazole ()
  • Trinitramide ( or ), nitrogen(0,IV) oxide

  • (or NOy) refers to the sum of and all oxidized atmospheric odd-nitrogen species (e.g. the sum of , , , etc.)
  • (or NOz) = −
  • Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen ("MON"): solutions of nitric oxide in dinitrogen tetroxide/nitrogen dioxide.

Stability

Due to relatively weak N–O bonding, all nitrogen oxides are unstable with respect to and , which is the principle behind the catalytic converter, and prevents the oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere from combusting.
