Nitrogen was first isolated in 1772 by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford. He discovered it while studying the composition of air, recognizing that it made up a significant portion of the atmosphere but was inert and did not support combustion. Initially, nitrogen was primarily regarded as a component of atmospheric air, but its significance expanded with the development of fertilizers in the 19th century, leading to its crucial role in agriculture.
Nitrogen.
No. Plants cannot use elemental nitrogen. The nitrogen must first be fixed, either by lightning or by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Some plants have such bacteria in their roots.
The first step of the nitrogen cycle is nitrogen fixation.
Nitrogen is a chemical element, N.
Since 78.08% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, yes. But it cannot be used in biological processes. The nitrogen animals use comes in the form of nitrogen compounds acquired from food. Ultimately, the nitrogen used by most living things is produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria which do use nitrogen from the atmosphere, these compounds are then taken in and used by plants.

Nitrogen was first isolated by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772. It was not until the late 19th century that its importance in agriculture and industry was fully recognized.

Fertilizer was first used by the ancient Romans who tilled their crops and added nitrogen and lime to the soil because they knew it would help grow their plants.
