The two nitrogens are triple bonded. One of the nitrogen molecules is then double bonded to an oxygen molecule.
Yes, triple bonds are stronger than double bonds are stronger than single bonds. The bond length is in picometers. Bonds are real things that are measured and studied.
This is another exceptionally stable molecule no different than H20. It is also known as Dinitrogen monoxide.
It has uses in medicine as an anesthetic. It is affectionately called "Laughing Gas." It is listed with the WHO (World Health Organization) in it's "Model List of Essential Medicines" simply because it a basic form of anesthesia.
