Nitrogen comes from Latin: nitrogenium in two parts,
- where in Latin: nitrum (from Greek: nitron) means "saltpetre" (rocky salt),
the same as in nitrate
- and in Greek: genes means "forming",
the same as in oxy-genes and hydro-genes
Latin was the international scientific language spoken by (among others) Rutherford when he found this gas in 1772, but at that time he called it "noxious air or fixed air" before telling his scientific friends about it. (The group of NxOy compounds is still called 'NOx' by (non-chemical) engineers, but that is pure coincidence)
Nitrogen is a gas but can be a liquid. It can be dangerous on its own. 80% of the air in the atmosphere is nitrogen,but we don't breath it,it has other importants
