The correct Answer is:
2
When inhaled in moderate quantity,`N_(2)O` produces hysterical laughter, hence named as laughing gas. However, when inhaled for long, it produces insensibility and may prove fatal too.
Nitrous oxide `(N_(2)O)` is nontoxic in small amounts but all the other nitrogen oxides are highly toxic.
