We report a time-dependent quantum wavepacket theory employed to interpret the photoabsorption spectrum of the N2O molecule in terms of the nuclear motion on the upper 21A' and 11A'' potential energy surfaces. The N2-O bond breaks upon excitation leading to dissociation. The total angular momentum is treated correctly taking into account the vector property of the electric field of the exciting radiation.
