The structure of the nitrous oxide molecule is a linear chain of a nitrogen atom bound to a second nitrogen atom, which in turn is bound to an oxygen atom. It can be considered a resonance hybrid of N≡N+−O− and −N=N+=O.
Nitrous oxide, N2O, should not be confused with the other oxides of nitrogen such as nitric oxide NO and nitrogen dioxide NO2.
Nitrous oxide is isoelectronic with carbon dioxide.
It can be prepared by heating ammonium nitrate in the laboratory and can be used to produce nitrites by mixing it with boiling alkali metals, and to oxidize organic compounds at high temperatures.

I've no idea, but if you add lithium vapour (is such a thing easily done) it will probably release the hydrogen to acquire the lithium which will them make it a stable element. H2N still has one bond available on the Nitrogen so it will readily attach to anything with a matching free bond.

This is an amino group.
This group is always present in an amino acid & proteins.

Hell if I know...I have bio and I always fall asleep. But good luck!
