- Nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen(0,II) oxide
- dimer
- Dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3), nitrogen(II,IV) oxide
- dimer
- Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), nitrogen(V) oxide, or nitronium nitrate [NO2]+[NO3]−
- Nitrosyl azide (N4O), nitrogen(−I,0,I,II) oxide
- Nitryl azide (N4O2)
- Oxatetrazole(N4O)

Stability
Due to relatively weak N–O bonding, all nitrogen oxides are unstable with respect to N2 and O2, which is the principle behind the
combusting
.
