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 changes nitrogen gas into nitrates?
lightning and/or soil in the ground
How can someone increase the nitrogen in the soil?
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
Does lightning help in nitrogen fixation?
yes
Is nitrogen a type of gas?
nitrogen is a gas (N2)
Nitrogen gas consist of?
Nitrogen (N2) consists of two Nitrogen atoms.
What changes nitrogen gas into nitrates?
lightning and/or soil in the ground
Nitrates are turned back into nitrogen gas by?
Soil bacteria!!!!
Where does nitrogen in nautral gas come from?
Lightning and sunlight, sometimes rain and other natural occurences...
Can nitrogen gas be used by plants?
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
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.
Why is lightning good?
A lightning blot is full of Nitrogen. So when a lightning bolt flashes it releases Nitrogen into the Atmosphere. Since Humans breathe 75 to 80 percent of Nitrogen it is essential to us.
Why do plants consume nitrogen?
Nitrogen is considered to be a limiting factor for plants since it cannot be absorbed as a gas. Plants will use ammonia as their main source fro nitrogen.
Why is there yellow lightning?
lightning forces nitrogen and oxygen to combine with the water of rain and carries the nitrogen down into soil
Which gas is produced during lightning?
The answer is (ii) Nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen is available in air in bonded form N2. Lightning energy helps break this N2 bond and produces nitrogen ions. These ions combine with Oxygen to produce Nitrogen monoxide in the first step and then nitrogen dioxide. If there happens to be rain at the time of lightning, this NO2 dissolves in water to form nitric or nitrous acids and falls to earth. These acids are in usable form for many plants. This process is one of the ways for nitrogen fixation in the environment. Kalra
How can someone increase the nitrogen in the soil?
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
The effects of lighting to nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Lightning helps in the production of a form of nitrogen. Lightning causes oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere to chemically react to combine and form nitrogen oxide, a key ingredient in many fertilizers.
What are two ways nitrogen from the air changed into usable nitrogen?
lightning & bacterial action (nitrogen fixers).
