Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, nitro, or NOS  is a chemical compound with the formula N2O.

Sulfur dioxide (also sulphur dioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula SO2.

Carbon suboxide, or tricarbon dioxide, is an oxide of carbon with chemical formula C3O2 or O=C=C=C=O.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive chemical species containing oxygen.
