WHAT DOES NITROGEN MONOXIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nitrogen monoxide

Nitric oxide

Dinitrogen tetroxide Dinitrogen trioxide Nitrogen dioxide Nitrous oxide Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C (77 °F), 100 kPa) N (verify) (what is: Y/N?) Infobox references Nitric oxide, or nitrogen oxide, also known as nitrogen monoxide, is a molecule with chemical formula NO. It is a free radical and is an important intermediate in the chemical industry. Nitric oxide is a by-product of combustion of substances in the air, as in automobile engines, fossil fuel power plants, and is produced naturally during the electrical discharges of lightning in thunderstorms. In mammals including humans, NO is an important cellular signaling molecule involved in many physiological and pathological processes. It is a powerful vasodilator with a short half-life of a few seconds in the blood. Long-known pharmaceuticals such as nitroglycerine and amyl nitrite were discovered, more than a century after their first use in medicine, to be active through the mechanism of being precursors to nitric oxide.
