Nitrogen is a chemical element that is essential for the growth and functioning of living organisms. It is a crucial component of proteins, nucleic acids, and many other organic compounds. Phosphorus is another chemical element that is vital for life. It is a major component of DNA, RNA, and ATP, which play important roles in cellular metabolism and energy transfer. Both nitrogen and phosphorus are important nutrients for plants and are often found in fertilizers.
The atomic weight of nitrogen is approximately 14.007 atomic mass units (u).
No, Coca-Cola does not contain nitrogen. The main ingredients in Coca-Cola are carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, and caffeine. There is no mention of nitrogen in the ingredients list.
The neutral nitrogen atom and the neutral nitrogen molecule has no net charge because they are made up of equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If the nitrogen atom or molecule gains or looses and electron it becomes a positively or negatively charged ion.
The term for bacteria that convert nitrogen into nitrogen compounds is nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Yes, nitrogen is a form of matter. Matter refers to anything that has mass and takes up space. Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7. It exists as a gas in its natural state and is a fundamental component of the Earth's atmosphere.
In the body, nitrogen is stored primarily in the form of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are essential for various physiological processes and nitrogen is a crucial component of amino acids. Additionally, nitrogen can also be stored in other molecules like nucleic acids, which are composed of nitrogen-containing bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
both cycles transfer either carbon or nitrogen from the ocean to the atmosphere or from the atmosphere to the ocean.
The conversion of ammonia to nitrate (nitrification) is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria. It is important for the ammonia to be converted to nitrates because accumulated nitrites are toxic to plant life. Denitrification is the reduction of nitrates back into the largely inert nitrogen gas (N2), completing the nitrogen cycle.
Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature, but if brought to very low temperatures, it will condense into a liquid. Liquid nitrogen is fairly common and is used in several chemical processes, industries, and classroom demonstrations.
From the air around us, since air is composed of 78.08% nitrogen. Nitrogen gas is an industrial gas produced by the fractional distillation of liquid air, or by mechanical means using gaseous air (i.e. pressurised reverse osmosis membrane or Pressure swing adsorption). Commercial nitrogen is often a byproduct of air-processing for industrial concentration of oxygen for steelmaking and other purposes.
I dont know retard find out yourself.
He may be a retard, but this is called "Answers.com", so we should try to provide an ANSWER.
Nitrogen may have different valencies, for instance it forms several types of oxide: NO, N2O, NO2!
but in tri-chloride, as its name says, there are three atoms of chloride for each nitrogen, so the valence of N is in this case 3 ...
Hope this helps,

Nitrogen only remains a liquid at very low temperatures (-196oc) above this temperature the liquid will return to a gas, so warm it us is the answer, although because of the extreme cold temperatures and the asphyxiating nature of the gas it needs to done safely and only by trained personnel using the correct equipment.
they help balance the level of nitrogen in the soil and atmosphere.
It's precisely because it's so eager to get to the diatomic triple-bonded state. N2 is an incredibly stable molecule. There are few organisms capable of ripping it apart and fixing it into a biological useful state; most importantly, bacteria that live on certain plants' roots. This is why nitrogen is so important in fertilizer.
Anyway, when you convert an unstable nitrogen compound (at a reasonably high energy state) into that incredibly stable N2 (at a very low energy state), the huge difference in energy is released. If the difference is big enough, it's released as a big boom.
Nitrogen is colorless.
the color of it is green because my science teacher said it 2 me
your science teach is wrong it is a colorless gas =)
Industrially, nitrogen is prepard by the fractional distillation of liquid air, Air from which carbon(IV)oxide has been removed, is liquefied by subjecting it to successive compression and cooling processes.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a dangerous greenhouse gas, is one of the by-products of burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), especially petrol in the internal combustion engine (The other by-products are carbon dioxide and methane).
Nitrous oxide is produced at high temperatures, so car manufacturers are trialling methods of recycling the exhaust gases through the engine. This lowers the combustion temperature and less N2O is produced.
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
nitrogen is an element that can be a liquid or a gas by means of physical changes.
I`m not sure how it was discovered, but it was discovered by Daniel Rutherford in 1772. I`ll get back to you on how it was discovered... :P
All plants and animals need nitrogen to make amino acids, proteins and DNA, but the nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form that they can use. The molecules of nitrogen in the atmosphere can become usable for living things when they are broken apart during lightning strikes or fires, by certain types of bacteria, or by bacteria associated with legume plants. Other plants get the nitrogen they need from the soils or water in which they live mostly in the form of inorganic nitrate (NO3-). Nitrogen is a limiting factor for plant growth.
The atmosphere of our planet is composed mostly of nitrogen, therefore nitrogen is readily available and doesn't have to be made. This is a bit like asking "how do you make water?" It's possible to make water - most forms of combustion produce at least some water vapor as a by-produc t - but it is never necessary to do so. It's much easier to use the water that we already have. But then, suppose you need pure nitrogen, 100% nitrogen, not air. Nitrogen can be separated out from air by a process of fractional distillation. Liquify the air (at very low temperatures) and the various components can be boiled off at different temperatures.
