Is ammonium nitrate a substance or mixture?
A mixture can be defined as a material composed of two or more different substances that are not chemically combined. This makes nitrogen a pure substance.
Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
Is nitrogen used by the body?
it goes through your body and comes out as carbon dioxide. trees use the carbon dioxide to make more nitrogen that you breathe again.
What happens when a full nitrogen cylinder top is broken off?

Can Elements be broken down by ordinary chemical means?
no
Can compounds be broken down by ordinary chemical means?
Yes.
What is a substance that cannot be broken into a simpler substance by ordinary chemical chnges?
A chemical element.
Can a compound be broken down by ordinary chemical change?
of course, by the intermediate of chemical reactions
What is a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by ordinary chemical methods?
compounds CAN be decomposed elements CANTThe answer would be Mercury because it is an element and can't be broken down by chemical means. but methane, ethanol and ammonia can be broken down by physical means because they are compounds.
What is is nitrogen?
Nitrogen is called nitrogen because when scientist first discover it the scientist thought up the name nitrogen because that name has connection to the gas.
What is pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical called?
