Well it's a comproportionation reaction is it not?

Explanation:

You have got $N H_{4} \cdot N O_{3}$ $NH_4*NO_3$ , i.e. $N (- I I I)$ $N(-III)$ and $N (+ V)$ $N(+V)$ , and the nitrogens end up with a common oxidation state of $+ I N$ $stackrel(+I)N$ (individually $N + (I I)$ $N+(II)$ and $N (0)$ $N(0)$ .

$NH_4NO_3 +Delta rarr N_2O + 2H_2O$

For nitrous oxide, $N_2O$ , we have a Lewis structure of $N-=stackrel(+)N-stackrel(-)Oharrstackrel(-)N=stackrel(+)N=O$
