No. Most nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere are a product of combustion of some fossil fuel in air, when the heat of combustion is sufficient to activate reactions between atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, but the oxides are not present in the fuel itself.

Do burning fuels add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to the atmosphere.
What pollutants are released from fossil fuel combustion?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
What is the chemical formula of nitrogen IV oxide?
Nitrogen dioxide NO2 Nitrogen(IV) oxide
What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
What are three pollutants released into the air when fuels are burned?
Carbon dioxide, water vapour and nitrogen.
Do burning fuels add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to the atmosphere.
Is nitrogen Oxide produced while burning fossil fuels?
yes, don't know why, but yes
What are nitrogen oxide emissions and how do they affect the environment?
Nitrogen oxide emissions are the product of fuel burning at high temperatures. It affects the environment by contributing to acid rain.
What human activities release sulphur dioxide ,carbon monoxide and oxide of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil
What happens to fuel rods that are used to create nuclear fission?
You have a misapprehension there, it is uranium oxide that is used in fuel rods, not fossil fuel
How does burning fossil fuels affect the nitrogen cycle?
Burning fossil fuels alters the amount of nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere. Specifically, there has been a significant increase in nitric oxide levels since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
What pollutants are released from fossil fuel combustion?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
Neutral oxide of nitrogen?
NO is the simplest oxide of nitrogen.
Name the compound NO?
It is the molecular compound Nitric Oxide (not Nitrous Oxide)
What is the difference between nitrogen oxide and nitrogen monoxide?
Nitrogen has many oxides like Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrous oxide, etc. Nitrogen monoxide refers to a single compound with formula NO. Whereas Nitrogen oxide can refer any higher or lower oxide of nitrogen. It can refer to Nitrous oxide, Nitric oxide, Dinitrogen trioxide, etc.
A fuel contains no nitrogen but nitrogen oxides are produced when it is burned why?
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a dangerous greenhouse gas, is one of the by-products of burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), especially petrol in the internal combustion engine (The other by-products are carbon dioxide and methane). Nitrous oxide is produced at high temperatures, so car manufacturers are trialling methods of recycling the exhaust gases through the engine. This lowers the combustion temperature and less N2O is produced.
Nitric oxide has what in it?
Nitrogen oxide is composed of the elements, nitrogen and oxygen.
