User request: Nitrous oxide #399

I am a science teacher in Munich Germany, and I use them very often. They are very much liked by the students.

Today I would like to suggest, to also include oxygen as an important atmospheric gas, and and nitrous oxide as a highly effectiv green house gas in the following animation:

@oliver-phet can you please notify the user that the simulation already includes molecular oxygen, O2? I'm not sure if they are asking for atomic oxygen (O), but that form of oxygen is highly reactive and isn't abundant in our atmosphere.

We can consider the suggestion to include nitrous oxide (N2O) in a future release, but there aren't any current plans to work on this simulation.

User emailed regarding O2. Will keep this open to track Nitrous oxide.
