Nitrogen oxide

Nitrogen oxide may refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds:

Charge-neutral[]

Atmospheric sciences[]

In atmospheric chemistry:

• NO
  x (or NOx) refers to the sum of NO and NO₂.^[1][2]
• NO
  y (or NOy) = the sum of all oxidized atmospheric odd-nitrogen species (e.g. NO_x + HNO₃ + HNO₂ + etc.)
• NO
  z (or NOz) = NO_y − NO_x

• 

  Nitric oxide, NO
