At room temperature it is a colourless gas with no smell. Below minus 196 degrees C (its boiling point), it is a colourless liquid. It will not burn nor support burning, and will only react with other elements with difficulty. Pretty boring really!

Look at the air you're breathing in right now. That's what nitrogen looks like, in its gaseous state. Nitrogen makes up almost 4/5 of the air we're breathing in. There's much less oxygen in regular atmospheric air than nitrogen.

In liquid form, nitrogen is a clear liquid, much like water. This form of nitrogen is used for cryogenic purposes (freezing), and other applications, such as fighting T-1000 model Terminators.
