Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere and forms many important compounds. It is a nonmetal with the symbol N and atomic number 7. Nitrogen forms nine molecular oxides including nitrous oxide and nitrogen dioxide, and is commonly used in fertilizers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes, and explosives. It has no odor, taste or color, makes up 78.1% of the atmosphere, and liquid nitrogen melts at -210 degrees Celsius.

the symbol N and atomic number 7. • Nitrogen Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic compounds table, often called the pnictogens. It is a common element in the universe, estimated at seventh in total abundance in the Milky Way and the Solar System. NITROGEN COMPOUNDS • Nitrogen forms nine molecular oxides, some of which were the first gases to be identified: N2O (nitrous oxide), NO (nitric oxide), N2O3 (dinitrogen trioxide), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), N2O4 (dinitrogen tetroxide), N2O5 (dinitrogen pentoxide), N4O (nitrosylazide), and N(NO2)3 (trinitramide). NITROGEN IN USE
• Nitrogen is commonly used during
sample preparation in chemical analysis. It is used to concentrate and reduce the volume of liquid samples. Nitrogen is also important to the chemical industry. It is used in production of fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives FACTS ABOUT NITROGEN FACT #1
• N has no odor, is tasteless, and colorless.
FACT #2
• Nitrogen gas (N2) makes up 78.1% of the Earth's atmosphere
FACT #3
• Atmosphere contains an estimated 4,000 trillion tons of N 2
FACT #4
• Liquid Nitrogen melts at -210 degrees Celcius or −346 F
