    Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and mostly inert gas that makes up 78% of the air around us. It was discovered in 1772 by Daniel Rutherford, who called it "noxious air" or "fixed air." Nitrogen is part of the nitrogen cycle in ecosystems, where it is recycled between the atmosphere, soil, plants, and animals.
