Liquid nitrogen is used for cryotechniques as it can provide a very low temperature and used for the preparation of various nitrogenous fertilizer and compounds like ammonia, nitric acid, etc.

Large amounts of gas are also used by the electronics industry as a blanketing medium when producing transistors, diodes, etc.
Large quantities of nitrogen are used in annealing stainless steel and other steel mill products.
Nitrogen is used as a refrigerant both for the immersion freezing of food products and for transportation of foods. Liquid nitrogen is also used in missile work as a purge for components, insulators for space chambers.
The oil industry uses nitrogen to increase the pressure in wells to force crude oil upward. Light bulbs are almost always filled with Nitrogen.
Another use is explosives. Ammonium Nitrate(think Oklahoma city), Nitroglycerin, Nitrocellulose, and Trinitrotoluene(TNT).
Nitrogen is used to make Nitrous Oxide(dentists Laughing Gas), which is also a fuel oxidizer used in automotives to improve acceleration(Nos).

The head groups of lipids also have nitrogen in them. There are of course more biological roles (nitric oxide is a signaling molecule). Other uses for nitrogen are cooling applications (liquid nitrogen), rocket fuel (maneuvering rockets, the large ones are solid fuel or liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen), fertilizer, explosives, provide an inert atmosphere for chemical reactions, and many others.

Bacteria help convert nitrogen into useful forms through the process of?
nitrogen fixation
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
What is nitrogen rule?
If a compound contains an even number of nitrogen atoms (or no nitrogen atoms), its molecular ion will appear at an even mass number. If, however, a compound contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms, then its molecular ion will appear at an odd mass value. This rule is very useful for determining the nitrogen content of an unknown compound.
Why is nitrogen important for life on earth and what important role does it play?
nitrogen is useful in manufacturing many products like ammonia,explosives etc. it is used by plants from the soil for their varous processes
Where can nitrogen be found or mined at?
Elemental Nitrogen may be conveniently obtained by cryogenic distillation from the atmosphere. The liquid form is widely used as a low temperature coolant. It is an important part of our diet, and is found in proteins. Nitrates are very useful chemicals, and until recently, were obtained from immense deposits of seabird droppings, sometimes called guano.
How does nitrogen separate to be useful?
Nitrogen is an element, it does not separate smaller than nitrogen atoms, unless you consider subatomic particles to be useful,
Bacteria help convert nitrogen into useful forms through the process of?
nitrogen fixation
Which organisms transform nitrogen to a form that is useful to plants?
bactieria
Is it true or false that Nitrogen fixation makes nitrogen gas useful to crops?
nitrification or nitrogen fixation. aslo is know as False.
What does animal urine and feces contain that will eventually be useful to plants?
Nitrogen.
Is there a useful age limit for nitrogen fertilizer?
No! Answer It must be stored dry.
Which gas is changed into a useful form for the plants by the bacteria in the soil?
Nitrogen
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
Why ammonium nitrate is not useful for paddy rice fields?
Ammonium nitrate is used for paddy rice because microbial bacteria decompose ammonium nitrate into nitrogen gas so nitrogen gas does not remain useful for plants.
Can we use pure nitrogen gas as a nutrient?
No, not directly. There are bacteria that can fix Nitrogen out of the air and make it available as a nutrient but Nitrogen has to be in a compound form for it to be useful to most of the living things on Earth.
What is nitrogen harmful or useful?
Nitrogen is extremely helpful to plants because it is a vital nutrient they need. When nitrogen enters the blood steam of a human or animal, it can cause decompression sickness. On the whole, life would not be possible without nitrogen.
How do humans and animals get nitrogen?
Nitrogen starts in soil and becomes useful nitrogen for plants and it gets passed on to animals. Decomposers would eat nitrogen-rich dead organisms and some of the nitrogen goes back into the soil.
