What kind of bonds can nitrogen form?
Nitrogen can form covalent bonds.
How is nitrogen gas converted to a solid form?
nitrogen can be converted to liquid but not to solid form
How do we get nitrogen with out breathing it in?
We get nitrogen in a usable form from our food.
Does nitrogen form single bonds only?
No; nitrogen can form single, double, or triple bonds.
Do nitrogen form covalent bond?
yes nitrogen being a non metal form covalent bond
What must happen to nitrogen before plants and animal can use it?
Nitrogen must be in the compound form before it is used by plants or animals
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
What must happen for plants to use nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Fixation
Why must living organisms rely on nitrogen fixation for their source of nitrogen?
Biology relies on chemistry. The nitrogen must be able to attach to the receptor molecule to be used. Nitrogen fixation renders nitrogen into a less s table form so that it can break bonds and attach to other molecules.
What must happen for nitrogen to become an ion?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
What is the combining form for nitrogen?
Nitrogen- is the combining form for nitrogen. For instance, nitrogenous means containing or related to nitrogen.
Why must nitrogen be fixed in the nitrogen cycles?
It has to be fixed by things in the soil called nodules, so it can be a form that plants can use in order to get protein to perform photosynthesis.
What kind of bonds can nitrogen form?
Nitrogen can form covalent bonds.
Why nitrogen atoms join up to form nitrogen molecule?
nitrogen atoms join up to form nitrogen molecules becoz their outermost shell is not stable. to be stable, they join up to form nitrogen molecues... ;)
How is nitrogen fixation helpful to crops?
Because elemental nitrogen is unusable by plants. It must be converted in the soil to a usable form and adsorbed by soil particles for plants to be able to utilize it.
What is the process of changing free nitrogen gas into a usable form of nitrogen?
Converting free nitrogen into a usable form ( a compound) is called nitrogen fixation.
What chemical form is nitrogen obtained by plants?
Nitrogen is obtained by the plants in the mineral form.
