What is laughing gas ?

  • A.Nitric oxide
  • B.Nitrous oxide
  • C.Nitrogen oxide
  • D.Nitrogen peroxide

Answer: B

Laughing gas is nitrous oxide, \(\mathrm{N_2O}\).

Humphry Davy named it for the euphoria it induces, and it is still used as a mild anaesthetic and analgesic mixed with oxygen. Nitric oxide, NO, and nitrogen dioxide, \(\mathrm{NO_2}\), are quite different and are toxic.
