No. In fact, nitrogen is commonly used to provide an inert atmosphere in which to work with highly reactive compounds.
Some nitrogen compounds are, however, highly explosive. One well-known example is trinitrotoluene, better known by the abbreviation TNT.

∙ 12y agoNo, Nitrogen is not combustible.
There are some non-naturally occuring combinations which can, like Mg3N2 and NH3, but the nitrogen only supports the combustion while the other element actually combusts.

Why magnesium continues to burn in nitrogen although nitrogen is a non combustible gas?
Normally magnesium in liquid nitrogen (-196 deg Celsius) turns brittle and can be broken into pieces but when magnesium is fuse lit in liquid nitrogen it forms magnesium nitrate and burns rigorously with bright light. Mg + N2 = MgN2 + heat R . C Salvi rcsalvi@rediffmail.com
Is nitrogen dangerous or poisonous?
It is NOT. non-toxic, non-explosive, non-reactive, non-corrosive: almost completely INERT. However, if you breath pure nitrogen gas you asphyxiate and die because there is no oxygen. However, don't stick your fingers in liquid nitrogen, they'll be 'burned' at -190oC.
What is combustible gas release?
A combustible gas is one which ignites to burn, deflagrate or detonate when mixed with air and an ignition source. A release is a purposeful or accidental lapse in contaiment or control of a material. In this case a gas, from a vessel or pipeline. A combustible gas release is then a loss of containment of a gas which can ignite to the indoor or exterior environment.
Does nitrogen conduct electricity?
Nitrogen is not considered to conduct electricity. This gas lacks the free electrons to support conduction.
Can chlorine ignite?
Chlorine by itself is non-combustible.
What family does nitrogens belong?
Nitrogen belongs in the Nitrogen family. The other elements in the Nitrogen family are Phosphorus, Arsenic, Antimony, and Bismuth. Nitrogen is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, non-combustible gas.
Is helium non-combustible gas?
Yes.
Is nitrogen gas combustible?
it depends on the temperature, if over 20.3 degrees Celsius then yea
Is nitrogen metal non metal metalloid or noble gas?
Nitrogen is a non metal.
Is nitrogen metal non- metal metalloid or noble gas?
nitrogen is a non-metal
Is nitrogen a metal non metal or a metalliod?
Nitrogen is a non metal which is gas at room temperature.
How does nitrogen stop crisps going off?
Nitrogen i an unreactive gas. <><><><><> Nitrogen is not a noble gas so it is not non-reactive
What types of elements make up nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen gas is only made of nitrogen (its chemical formula is N2) , nitrogen is a non-metal.
What is nitrogen's effects at high temperatures?
nitrogen is non combustible and inert and has a negative expansion co efficient so if there is and compression whatsoever the nitrogen will provide a cooling effect and stops you from reaching high temperatures.
If you touch Nitrogen Gas what will happen?
Nothing will happen, nitrogen gas is inert and non toxic, 78% of the air we live in and breath is nitrogen.
Is stucco combustible?
stucco is non-combustible
