In any analytical laboratory, you can find large cylindrical nitrogen tanks. When nitrogen gas is very clean (where nitrogen tanks don't have any gaseous water droplets for example) nitrogen gas can be used to "drive off" or push out other gases from technical instruments or instrument tubings or even to quickly evaporate liquid alcohols, just used to dry lab beakers and test tubes that had liquid water in them. Nitrogen is also used to make sure "outside air" does not get into sensitive electronics in very expensive equipment. When nitrogen is introduced gently into these "computer chip saturated" guts in those sensitive equipment, the outside air (that is moist and dirty) can't get in!

In general nitrogen is a gas constituting about 80% of air, relatively inert and hard to bind. Cooled down deeply it liquifies at about -170 centigrade and is used to flash freeze small biological samples and kill warts, but it also makes a wonderful fog. Many labs and industries use liquified nitrogen for cooling and it also gives them a continuous flow of the gas which is very dry and oxygen-free as a drying agent or as a shielding gas.

The molecule is composed of 2 atoms of nitrogen and those atoms are produced by electric discharge and in low quantities in high temperature combustion with air. They are very reactive radicals that immediately form other agents usually oxides with oxygen ( called NOx ) that react with water to form nitrous an nitric acid. Bacteria change that into other products such as ammonia and amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins, and are metabolically decomposed to urea. Bacteria can turn that into new amino acids.

Probably almost all of them. Nitrogen (N2) is far more stable gas than the ambient air. And is therefore used for servicing a variety of pressurized pneumatic systems such as shock struts, and hydraulic accumulators. Some emergency systems like landing gear "Blow Down" (Emergency extension) use compressed nitrogen as their source of energy. N2 is also used to fill tires, so even a small aircraft with no hydraulic systems could be using nitrogen.
