Chapter 25, Problem 25.90QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The differences between $N_{2}O{\text{ and O}}_2$ has to be given by their physical and chemical properties.

Concept introduction:

Physical properties:

Properties observed by visually are called as physical properties.  Examples for physical properties are color, smell, appearance, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, and polarity.

Chemical properties:

Properties observed by their change in chemical nature.  Examples for chemical properties are chemical stability, toxic nature, oxidation states, flammable nature, enthalpy of formation and coordination number.

To give: The physical and chemical differences between $N_{2}O{\text{ and O}}_2$
