(b) NO - Nitrogen monoxide or Nitrogen (II) oxide
(c) NO₂ - Nitrogen dioxide or Nitrogen (IV) oxide
(d) N₂O₅ - Dinitrogen pentoxide
(e) N₂O₄ - Dinitrogen tetraoxide.
Explanation:
To name each of the compounds,
(a) N2O; It is properly written as N₂O. N₂O is a colorless, sweet tasting gas also known as "laughing gas".
N₂O - Dinitrogen monoxide OR Dinitrogen (I) oxide.
(b) NO; NO is a colorless gas.
NO - Nitrogen monoxide OR Nitrogen (II) oxide.
(c) NO2; It is properly written as NO₂
NO₂ is a reddish-brown gas.
NO₂ - Nitrogen dioxide or Nitrogen (IV) oxide.
(d) N2O5; It is properly written as N₂O₅
N₂O₅ is a white solid.
N₂O₅ - Dinitrogen pentoxide.
(e) N2O4; It is properly written as N₂O₄;
N₂O₄ is a red-brown liquid with an unpleasant smell.
