Laughing gas Nitrous oxide

Perhaps the best known oxide of nitrogen is N20, commonly called nitrous oxide or laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is frequently used as an anesthetic, particularly in dentistry. It is also the propellant gas used in whipped cream containers N20 is nontoxic, virtually tasteless, and quite soluble in vegetable oils. The N20 molecule, like all those in Figure 21.6, can be represented as a resonance hybrid. [Pg.565]
