The empirical formula for dinitrogen tetroxide is N2O4.
p-Nitrophenol reacts with NaOH because it is a weak acid and can be deprotonated by a strong base like NaOH. In contrast, it does not react with HCl because HCl is a strong acid and p-nitrophenol is not basic enough to be protonated by HCl.
There is no known species as N2O6. NO3 is a transient planar molecule, with an unpaired electron. N2O5 in the solid is NO2+ NO3- in the vapour and solution it is molecular, probably O2-N-O-NO2. N2O4 is a planar molecule O2N-NO2

Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) yields dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) plus oxygen (O2)Oxygen, however, is normally found in a dimer when in elemental form (O2).So, unfortunately this is not a balanced equation as one starts with 5 oxygen atoms, and ends up with 6 oxygen atoms.To balance the equation, it is changed to:2N2O5 --> 2N2O4 + O2Where one has two dinitrogen pentoxide molecules yielding two dinitrogen tetroxide plus one oxygen dimer molecule.Unfortunately, this is not a very logical equation. The reason is that dinitrogen pentoxide is a very different molecule than dinitrogen tetroxide.dinitrogen pentoxide is of the form: O2N-O-NO2 where the two nitrogens are bonded to an oxygen in the middle.dinitrogen tetroxide is of the form: O2N-NO2 where the two nitrogen molecules are bonded to each other.So to convert from one to another, one would have to break the two N-O bonds in the first molecule, and magically rebuild a N-N bond in the second molecule. Not to say this couldn't happen, but it would likely be difficult to do directly.Also, note by convention, all abbreviations for chemical names will start with capital letters (N, O, Cl, etc.)
