Because the body does not use the nitrogen therefore it is inhaled and exhaled without difference
Nitrogen is not used by the body; oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water goes out.
because it is not used by our bodily system.
Nitrogen is considered as an inert gas, which means that it doesn't react with stuff around it easily. As the body can't take it in, it gets exhaled in the same amount.
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the Earth's atmosphere where Oxygen only makes up 21% and so inevitably, we will breathe in more nitrogen.
No, oxygen is the more reactive element!
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Oxygen is what humans breathe in. We need it to be alive.
yes
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
Well, if you meant "What will happen if oxygen is MORE abundant than nitrogen?" then the answer to that question is that all those who breathe in air would breathe more proficiently than ever before Well, if you meant "What will happen if oxygen is MORE abundant than nitrogen?" then the answer to that question is that all those who breathe in air would breathe more proficiently than ever before
No. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air we breathe. Oxygen makes up 21%.
Nitrogen is the most common gas in the earth's atmosphere making up 78% a little more than 3 quarters which oxygen makes up 21% of the earth's atmosphere. We can't drink liquid nitrogen but we can breath in nitrogen. Nitrogen isn't an air pollution nor a greenhouse gas. So the answer is "yes", we can breathe in nitrogen.
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).

We breathe out the nitrogen and the oxygen in the air - though the amount of oxygen that goes out is less than the amount that goes in, since part of it is absorbed by our lungs.We also breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a result of our metabolism.
No, air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen with very very little carbon dioxide (less than 1%)What you exhale is mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and some carbon dioxide.
About 20% more than Oxygen at around 50%.
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Carbon dioxide and water vapour.
