It is soluable many solvents including water, alcohol, and ether. A nirtous oxide molecule has a linear shape (N = N = O). It is one of a few different nitrogen oxides including nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. N2O decomposes into Nitrogen and oxygen when heated. Besides being a greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is used in dentistry as the anesthsia laughing gas. N20 is also used in aerosols and rocket motors.
