Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Both oxygen and dinitrogen (1) oxide are known to rekindle a glowing splint. However, oxygen is an odorless gas while dinitrogen (1) oxide has a faint smell and has an effect on the central nervous system.

Also, the combustion of dinitrogen (1) oxide produces brown fumes of nitrogen IV oxide.

Finally, when dinitrogen (1) oxide and oxgen are both heated with copper, residual nitrogen gas is left with dinitrogen (1) oxide while no residual gas is left with oxygen.
