nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas from the air is combined with some other element, such as hydrogen to make ammonia, or to make any other compound containing nitrogen.
Nitrogen gas is typically converted to nitrite through a process known as nitrification. This process involves the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite by specialized bacteria called Nitrosomonas. Nitrite is an intermediate compound in the nitrogen cycle that eventually gets converted to nitrate by other bacteria called Nitrobacter.
Nitrogen in any pure form is an element, not a compound. However, at standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists predominantly as divalent molecules.

nitrogen is an element, not a compound.
Atmospheric nitrogen is an element and is N2. A compound of this would be ammonia NH3
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas from the air is combined with some other element, such as hydrogen to make ammonia, or to make any other compound containing nitrogen.
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.

Natural gas, also known as methane, is a source of hydrogen, and air consists mainly of nitrogen, so the two can be used to form ammonia, which is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted into nitrogen compounds that plants can use. This can occur through biological nitrogen fixation, where certain bacteria convert nitrogen gas into ammonia, and through abiotic processes like lightning strikes, which convert nitrogen gas into nitrogen oxides that can be absorbed by rain and deposited in the soil.
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.
The process in which nitrogen returns to it's gas form is known as nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen fixation is the process in which certain bacteria in the soil or root nodules of leguminous plants convert free nitrogen gas (N2) into a usable form such as ammonia (NH3) or nitrate (NO3-). This conversion allows plants to take up the nitrogen they need for growth and development.
Ammonia is made through a process called the Haber-Bosch process, where nitrogen gas from the air reacts with hydrogen gas under high pressure and temperature in the presence of a catalyst. This reaction forms ammonia, which is a compound made of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms.
