Covalent or ionic bonds?

PS: I will let you slide on the fact that it is two parts N and one part O

They are covalent, which is why the structure dissociates at a lower temp. This allows for the structure to spit out the oxygen molecule which is what then reacts with your fuel.

This then brings you to the issue of having too much N2O, you can cause premature detonation (explosion) which can make the oxygen attack and corrode the engine metal. This is why installation and usage are a huge factor!
