Nitrogen is a solid at temperatures below -210.01° C (-346.02° F), and is a liquid between that temperature and -195.79° C (-320.42° F). In our normal environment, the temperature is always well above the point where nitrogen evaporates and becomes a gas.

Matter can exist in one of three forms: as a gas, as a liquid, and as a solid.

Air is only a gas within a certain temperature range, but if the surrounding temperature becomes cold enough, it will condense into a liquid. If it chills down even further, it will freeze into a solid.

______

The second part is because all of it's chemicals are loose to each other allowing them to freely come and go more than liquid and solid.

Nitrogen gas is not an ideal gas. It is a good choice for the study of ideal gas behavior due to it's Boyle temperature, the temperature at which a non-ideal gas exhibits ideal behavior, being near room temperature.

Nitrogen* becomes a liquid below -195.79 degrees Celsius. Therefore if it is a gas, it's because it is above that temperature.

It is non polar.So there are weak London forces among moleules.So it is a gas.

Nitrogen has triple covalent bonds between atoms, this means it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds.
