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-fixing bacteria
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
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.
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.
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.
N2 (nitrogen gas) is not a mixture. It is a pure compound composed of two nitrogen atoms bonded together.
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.
