yes because it contains very powerful substances such as NH3

Is carbon dioxide a source of nitrogen compounds?
No, carbon dioxide is not a source of nitrogen or any nitrogen related compounds, because it consists of only (2 atoms of) Oxygen and (1 atom of) Carbon.
Does an electrical storm create nitrates?
Yes. When lightning flashes through the sky, some nitrogen combines with oxygen creating compounds of oxygen and nitrogen.
What are non-metals in the nitrogen family?
elements and compounds
How can someone increase the nitrogen in the soil?
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
What does lightning do to nitrogen gas?
lightning ionizes the nitrogen gas..and produces nitrogen ions..these nitrogen ions combines with hydrogen ions resulting in ammonia gas..this takes place with heavy sound,thunder
What is largest source of nitrogen?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere. Bacteria in the soil 'fix' the nitrogen gas into compounds which can be taken in by plants; the plants get eaten by animals & they use the nitrogen to make proteins.
Is lighting a source of nitrogen compounds?
No it is not a sourse.But it fixes nitrogen
Is carbon dioxide a source of nitrogen compounds?
No, carbon dioxide is not a source of nitrogen or any nitrogen related compounds, because it consists of only (2 atoms of) Oxygen and (1 atom of) Carbon.
What is the name of the process in which bacteria and lightning convert nitrogen into compounds that are useful to plants?
De-nitrification
What is the name of the process in which bacteria and lightning convert nitrogen into compounds that are useful plants?
De-nitrification
Two ways by which plants get nitrogen compounds?
Some essential nitrogen compounds can be absorbed by plants from the soil in which they grow. the nitrogen compounds can be provided to the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in association with the plants and/or from fertilizers. Some nitrogen compounds can also be input to the soil from lightning strikes that provide activation energy to facilitate the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen to produce absorbable nitrogen compounds that can be carried into soil by rain.
Who is the founder of nitrogen cycle in nature?
Nitrogen compounds have more than one source in nature. Nitrogen fixing bacteria, found in the root nodules of leguminous plants, are a major source. Lightning produces a certain amount of nitric oxide (through combustion of oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere) which dissolves in the rain to form nitric acid, which also contributes biologically usable nitrogen.
What is the process called in which organisms are responsible of producing nitrogen compounds?
It is called Nitrification. Some bacteria and lightning does that
Does an electrical storm create nitrates?
Yes. When lightning flashes through the sky, some nitrogen combines with oxygen creating compounds of oxygen and nitrogen.
What role does lightning have in nature?
Lightning has a BIG part in nature. It knockes down trees and burns forests to make room for more forest.Answer:Lightning changes nitrogen in the air into soluble nitrogen compounds that can be used by plants as fertilizer.
Nitrogen fixation is carried out primarly by?
Nitrogen Fixation Bacteria are the primary source in which Nitrogen Fixation is carried out. The bacteria changes N2 (unreactive element) into nitrogen compounds, which are soluble and can be absorbed.
What are methods of nitrogen fixation that complete the nitrogen cycle?
nitrogen fixation takes place with the help of lightning , bacteria called rhizobium lives in the nodules of legumenous plants convert nitrogen into nitrogeous compounds , algae etc. also helps in nitrogen fixation
