because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures

What is atmospheric nitrogen?
Certain plants (notably legumes - beans) and many bacteria act as nitrogen fixing agents, taking nitrogen from the air and producing nitrogen compounds by combining nitrogen with other elements. Nitrogen fixation can also occur as a result of lightning and some human activities, such as combustion. Other than that, it stays in the atmosphere, and fixed nitrogen eventually returns to the atmosphere, as well, to begin the cycle again.
Why does nitrogen not combine with oxygen in air?
It does (atmospheric fixation, fixing by biological processes), but assumedly you mean why doesn't it do it 'readily'. Nitrogen in the air exists as molecules of N2, the triple bond between the two atoms is very stable. Few things will freely react with it under normal circumstances, it can resist many oxidising agents including Oxygen itself.
How are the elements nitrogen and oxygen different from neon?
There are 7, 8 and 10 protons in nitrogen, oxygen and neon respectively. Neon has 8 valence electrons and is stable. Nitrogen and oxygen have 5 and 6 valence electrons respectively are are reactive.
What do beryllium and nitrogen react to make?
Beryllium and nitrogen do not typically react with each other to form a stable compound.
What noble gas does nitrogen become?
Nitrogen does not become a noble gas. It is fairly un-reactive but can be persuaded to react with Oxygen to make Nitrous Oxide or Nitrogen Dioxide, Hydrogen to make Ammonia, carbon to make Methane and many more compounds.
Will oxygen react with nitrogen?
Oxygen and nitrogen are both stable, non-reactive gases and do not readily react with each other under normal conditions. However, at very high temperatures and pressures, they can react to form nitrogen oxides.
Does nitrogen burn in oxygen?
No, nitrogen does not burn in oxygen. Nitrogen is inert and does not react with oxygen under normal conditions.
What does oxygen oxygen nitrogen make?
Oxygen and nitrogen will not directly chemically react with each other under normal conditions. They will typically stay as separate molecules in the air.
Why does nitrogen not normally react with oxygen?
Nitrogen is relatively inert because it is held together by a strong triple bond, making it difficult for other elements to break this bond and react with nitrogen. Oxygen, on the other hand, tends to react more readily with elements that are more reactive or have a lower ionization energy than itself. This makes nitrogen and oxygen unlikely to react with each other under normal conditions.
What gases react to make nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen oxides are typically formed when nitrogen and oxygen react together at high temperatures in combustion processes, such as in vehicle engines or industrial machinery. Nitrogen and oxygen are the main gases involved in the formation of nitrogen oxides.
What is a form of oxygen that is created when nitrogen oxides and organic compounds in the air react with each other?
Ozone
Can join together to form compounds?
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
How can you tell whether or not nitrogen the element will react with other elements?
By seeing how many valence electrons Nitrogen has, it does, it reacts with oxygen to make nitrous oxide
How does nitrogen react with oxygen?
Nitrogen and oxygen can react to form various nitrogen oxides, such as nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), especially at high temperatures like during combustion or in the presence of lightning. These nitrogen oxides can contribute to air pollution and the formation of acid rain.
What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?
Nitrogen and oxygen can form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO) depending on the conditions. Nitrogen oxides are produced when nitrogen and oxygen react at high temperatures, such as in combustion processes.
What do silver nitrogen and oxygen make?
Silver does not readily react with nitrogen or oxygen to form stable compounds under normal conditions. However, silver can react with nitrogen and oxygen compounds in specific conditions to form various silver compounds.
What does iridium oxygen and nitrogen make when mixed together?
When iridium, oxygen, and nitrogen are mixed together, they do not react to form a specific compound. Iridium is a noble metal and does not readily react with oxygen or nitrogen under normal conditions.
