"It is an inert gas for one reason, it is also larger than a molecule of air, so it has a harder time leaking out."
Also, when the oil inside of a shock/strut heats up it can foam (this is called aeration), the nitrogen gas prevents this from happening.

Nitrogen gas is used in shock absorbers to provide a stable and consistent damping force. When the shock absorber compresses, the nitrogen gas compresses as well, creating resistance that helps control the movement and absorb shocks. The nitrogen gas also helps prevent aeration of the hydraulic fluid inside the shock absorber.
Claude Foster, founder of Gabriel the company who invented the first shock absorber, which was called the snubber in 1907. In 1918 the first hydraulic shock absorber was introduced and in 1956 the first adjustable shock absorber as well. In 1967 the first gas shock absorber came from Gabriel and from that point many other makers began copying and expanding on the initial work of the people at Gabriel.

The front and rear axle of the vehicle works independently. Unless you have different type of absorber for left and right side, if not, there will not be any harm using either gas or hydraulic on different axle. Tks
Rafa does play with a shock absorber.
A shock absorber is a device that absorbs vibration on a vehicle.
The purpose of a shock absorber in a car is to smooth out or damp shock impact, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a mechanical device used in the car and it is a type of dashpot.
A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a type of dashpot.Other names for a shock absorber include damper and dashpot.

The shock absorber between bones is called cartilage.
Yep, some vehicles still use the shock absorber but many use the strut assembly which has many functions other than the just the duties of a shock absorber.
