   A mixture of Nitrous Oxide and Hydrocarbons is pretty much a   
   non-molecular analogue of any of the old-school, traditional   
   explosives.  For example, TNT is just triply nitrated (NO2   
   groups attached) toluene, nitro-cellulose is just nitrated   
   cellulose/glucose, nitro-glycerin is just triply nitrated   
   glycerin.  Such a mixture is not much different than Ammonium   
   Nitrate / Fuel Oil.
