Nitrogen gas can be changed into a compound through nitrogen fixation, where certain microorganisms convert nitrogen gas into ammonia. It can also be combined with oxygen during lightning strikes or in high-temperature industrial processes to form nitrogen oxides.
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
Nitrogen gas consists of molecules, each of which consists of two atoms of the element nitrogen. Since a compound has to consist of two or more elements nitrogen cannot be a compound, by definition.
Ammonia is a compound. It's chemical formula is NH3. It is a compound of Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
NO2 is nitrogen dioxide NO is nitrogen monoxide N2O is Nitrous oxide (Laughing Gas) .
No, nitrogen oxide and ammonia are not the same. Nitrogen oxide is a gas compound made of nitrogen and oxygen, while ammonia is a compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen. They have different chemical structures and properties.
nitrogen is an element, not a compound.

Nitrogen gas consists of molecules, each of which consists of two atoms of the element nitrogen. Since a compound has to consist of two or more elements nitrogen cannot be a compound, by definition.
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.
Ammonia is a compound. It's chemical formula is NH3. It is a compound of Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
It already is a gas
Nitrogen in any pure form is an element, not a compound. However, at standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists predominantly as divalent molecules.
NO2 is nitrogen dioxide NO is nitrogen monoxide N2O is Nitrous oxide (Laughing Gas) .
No, nitrogen oxide and ammonia are not the same. Nitrogen oxide is a gas compound made of nitrogen and oxygen, while ammonia is a compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen. They have different chemical structures and properties.
Nitrogen the gas which is about 3/4 of the atmosphere consists of molecules. Each of these molecules consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are chemically bonded together. We don't refer to nitrogen gas as a compound because, by definition, a compound must be two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
N2 (nitrogen gas) is not a mixture. It is a pure compound composed of two nitrogen atoms bonded together.
