    nitrogen monoxide: NO

    nitrogen dioxide: NO₂

    Explanation:

    Nitrogen monoxide is composed by 1 atom of O (prefix "mono-") and 1 atom of N. Nitrogen dioxide is composed by 2 atoms of O (prefix "di-") and 1 atom of N. As the oxigen atom in oxides has the valency - 2 (it shares 2 electrons), the nitrogen has valency + 2 in NO and + 4 in NO₂.
