oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand
oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark

What are the most abundant compounds in the air?
The most common compounds found in the atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. Of the two, nitrogen is more abundant and keeps oxygen inert.
What are the two most abundant gases in the stratosphere?
The two most abundant gases in any layer of the atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. In the stratosphere, ozone composition increases from 0.04 parts per million in other layers to 5-12 ppm. However, this does NOT make ozone more abundant than nitrogen and oxygen.
Is hydrogen the most abundant element in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere.
Does silicate make up more or less than half of the mass of the crust?
it makes up more than hald because oxygen is the most abundant on our lithosphere and next is silicon following by nitrogen
Can nitrogen be filtered out of water?
More abundant in water than what? If we presume that you mean to compare the concentration of dissolved nitrogen found in rivers and streams to that dissolved in air, there is only a very small amount, around 1%, dissolved in water but, there is around 79% dissolved in air.
What is the most abundant of nitrogen and oxygen?
Nitrogen is more abundant; our atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen.
What is more abundant in the atmosphere oxygen or Nitrogen?
Nitrogen
What gas is more abundant nitrogen or oxygen?
In the atmosphere, Nitrogen is about four times as common as is Oxygen.
How much more abundant is nitrogen and oxygen in the air?
About 20% more than Oxygen at around 50%.
What will happen if oxygen is abundant than 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

How is oxygen released in the air?
Oxygen is the second abundant gas in the air-mixture: about 19% by volume. Nitrogen is more in air by 80% v/v
Is hydrogen the most abundant element in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere.
If nitrogen is so abundant in our atmosphere compared to oxygen why aren't there nitrogen breathing lifeforms?
Because really, Nitrogen in its gas from is a very inert substance. Even Legume plants that "fix" nitrogen in the air expend a lot of energy doing so. So in a way it's more worth while using oxygen, which is more reactive than nitrogen.
Would two compounds made of nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Why did god made nitrogen more aboundant than oxygen in the atmosphere?
Because Nitrogen makes plants grow and they provide a continuous supply of oxygen!
