nitrogen is an element, not a compound.
nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Nitrogen gas consists of molecules, each of which consists of two atoms of the element nitrogen. Since a compound has to consist of two or more elements nitrogen cannot be a compound, by definition.
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
N2 (nitrogen gas) is not a mixture. It is a pure compound composed of two nitrogen atoms bonded together.
Nitrogen in any pure form is an element, not a compound. However, at standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists predominantly as divalent molecules.
none it is a natural gas
Nitrogen is an element . Nitrogen gas, however, is often called nitrogen and is a molecule consisting of two nitrogen atoms bound together. Thus it may be considered to be a compound.
Ammonia is a compound. It's chemical formula is NH3. It is a compound of Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
Nitrogen the gas which is about 3/4 of the atmosphere consists of molecules. Each of these molecules consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are chemically bonded together. We don't refer to nitrogen gas as a compound because, by definition, a compound must be two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
