* NOx: This is the most common symbol used to represent nitrogen oxides as a group. The "x" represents the variable number of oxygen atoms in the different compounds.
* Individual formulas: You can also use the specific chemical formula for individual nitrogen oxides:
* NO: Nitric oxide
* NO2: Nitrogen dioxide
* N2O: Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
* N2O4: Dinitrogen tetroxide
* N2O5: Dinitrogen pentoxide
So, depending on the context, you can use either NOx or the specific formula of the nitrogen oxide you're referring to.
