pl. Chem.: Compounds in which one or more atoms of hydrogen are replaced by an equivalent quantity of nitrosyl (NO); thus malonic acid, C3H4O4, becomes nitroso-malonic acid, C3H3(NO)04. The nitroso-compounds are, nitros-ethyl in, nitroso naphthalene, nitroso-sulphates, . ni-tro-stil'-bic, a . [Pref. nitro- (2); Eng. stilh ( ene ), and suff.-ic.] Derived from or containing nitrous acid and stilbene. nitrostilbic-acid, s . Chem.: C14H9(NO2)O4.

[Pref. nitro- (2); Eng. sulph (ur); ( cryst )al, and suff. ic.] Containing nitrous and sulphuric acids. nitrosulphalic-acid, s.
