The composition of air is roughly 78% nitrogen and the remainder except a negligable amount of hydrogen is more dense than nitrogen. Therefore a balloon filled with nitrogen will be less dense then the surrounding air and thus will rise.
The balloon will probaly not rise, as there is insufficient lift to overcome the weight of the balloon fabric.
Are you sure you don't mean Helium, or Hydrogen?

Why does a hydrogen filled in balloon rise?
beecause hydrogen is less dense and light then air , easy to fly..the hydrogen in the balloon is lighter than the air outside of it.density of hydrogen is lower than air
How do you make a balloon filled with air fly straight?
Put a straw in the end of it and blow into the balloon. That should make it fly straight although make sure you don't use helium and make sure there is as little of wind around as possible. From Matthew
What if you were to fill a balloon with air then let go of it without tying it closed. What causes the balloon to fly away?
my
How does the air density inside a balloon change as it rises from the ground to the air?
The air density inside a balloon changes as it rises because the hot air inside the hot air balloon is less dense than the air around it causing it to fly since hot air rises. But as it rises it loses its hot air causing it to eventually not be able to fly anymore and come down.
What causes hot air balloons to fly?
Usually only balloons that are filled with helium will float. Helium is a gas that is lighter than air, so causes the balloon to fly. Note that if you blow a balloon yourself, it will just float to the ground. There are also hot air balloons in which the air is heated by an on board heater. Hot air, being lighter than cold air, rises and lifts the balloon. When the air cools, unless it is reheated, the balloon descends.
Why does a hot air balloon fly?
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
Why does a hot balloon fly?
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
What makes a helium balloon fly?
A balloon filled with helium flies because helium weighs less than air.
Why does balloon fly?
The hot air inside the balloon expands, making the hot air balloon fly.
Why does a hydrogen filled in balloon rise?
beecause hydrogen is less dense and light then air , easy to fly..the hydrogen in the balloon is lighter than the air outside of it.density of hydrogen is lower than air
How does a air balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Why do hot air balloons fly?
The Helium inside of the balloon has a lower atomic mass than the Nitrogen and Oxygen cocktail outside of it.
How does air make a balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
What time fly hot air balloon?
i think it takes a long time for a hot air balloon to fly
Why does hot balloons fly?
The hot air inside the balloon expands, making the hot air balloon fly.
Did the montgolfier brothers fly a hot air balloon first?
Yes they were first to fly the first hot air balloon
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
