What is the difference between nitrogen in the atmosphere and liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is made by taking in air from the atmosphere and compressing and cooling it. Once it is cool enough, it forms a liquid. This liquid contains argon, oxygen and nitrogen. These elements are then separated and sold as a commodity. The temperature is the only difference.

What is difference in volumes between liquid nitrogen and solid nitrogen?
is there a chemical difference between the solid and liquid states of nitrogen
What is the difference between the oceans and atmosphere?
The oceans are made primarily of liquid water. The atmosphere is made primarily of a mixture of gaseous Oxygen (20%) and Nitrogen (80%).
What is the difference between the atmosphere of earth and space?
An atmosphere implies the presence of a gaseous substance (such as air, in the earth's atmosphere, which is primarily made up of nitrogen and oxygen). Space is defined as the absence of atmosphere (as pure space consists of no solid, liquid or gaseous substance).
What is the difference between nitrogen dioxide and oxygen?
one is solid and one is liquid
Why does the gas liquid nitrogen have these use?
because most of our atmosphere has nitrogen in it
What is the difference between the boiling points of water and liquid nitrogen?
The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -195.8°C and the boiling point of water is 100°C. Therefore, that's a difference of 295.8°C.
Is it true that earth's atmosphere is composed of liquid oxygen?
The atmosphere of the Earth is a gas, not a liquid, and although it does contain oxygen, that is just one part of the atmosphere, which is mostly nitrogen.
Is liquid nitrogen is same as nitrogen?
They are the same element as the name suggests, but due to their different states i.e. nitrogen is a gas which makes up 70% of our atmosphere and liquid nitrogen is nitrogen cooled down to -196 degrees Celsius, they have different properties.
Is liquid nitrogen a liquid or a gas?
In the atmosphere it is a gas, in the soil it its a solid, nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid in air separation plants. Also, as a liquid Nitrogen is very cold -- cryogenic temperatures. Nitrogen is stored as liquid commonly for convenience, even when gas is required, because liquid is more dense than gas and more nitrogen could be stored in the same volume. Simply, the answer to your question is nitrogen is a solid, liquid and gas depending on where you find it or how you've modified it.
What is the most abundant liquid in the earths atmosphere?
In some conditions this is liquid water. Generally water exist as a gas.
Is Nitrogen is a solid at room temperature and pressure?
Liquid nitrogen can be kept at room temperature at sufficient pressure. Otherwise, it is a gas.
Is nitrogen liquid or gas?
