Nitrogen

The configuration of nitrogen in its ground state is 1s2 2s2 2p3, with five electrons occupying the 1s and 2s orbitals, and three electrons in the 2p orbital. This gives nitrogen a total of seven electrons.

Yes. At atmospheric pressure, nitrogen boils at -320 degrees Fahrenheit.

nitrogen fixation takes place with the help of lightning , bacteria called rhizobium lives in the nodules of legumenous plants convert nitrogen into nitrogeous compounds , algae etc. also helps in nitrogen fixation

When a dead animal decomposes, bacteria and fungi break down the organic matter, releasing nitrogen-containing compounds into the soil. Other bacteria then convert these nitrogen compounds back into atmospheric nitrogen through a process called denitrification. This atmospheric nitrogen can then be taken up by plants and reused in the ecosystem.

Fixed nitrogen refers to nitrogen that has been converted into a form that can be readily used by plants, such as ammonia or nitrates. Free nitrogen, on the other hand, refers to nitrogen gas (N2) that makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere and is not readily available for use by most organisms until it is fixed.

Nitrogen was discovered in the late 18th century by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford. He didn't exactly throw a party to announce his discovery, but he did it in 1772 at the University of Edinburgh. So, there you have it, nitrogen's debut on the scientific stage.

Free nitrogen refers to the nitrogen gas (N2) present in the atmosphere, which is not readily available for use by most organisms. Fixed nitrogen, however, is nitrogen that has been converted into a form that can be utilized by plants and other organisms, such as ammonia, nitrate, or nitrite. This conversion process is often carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil.

Nitrogen only remains a liquid at very low temperatures (-196oc) above this temperature the liquid will return to a gas, so warm it us is the answer, although because of the extreme cold temperatures and the asphyxiating nature of the gas it needs to done safely and only by trained personnel using the correct equipment.

Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.

That it is considered a brown-colored, carbon-rich recyclable is a reason why compost rich in cellulose is likely to be poor in nitrogen. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus originates in and possesses carbon and nitrogen from respectively brown-colored, dead, decaying, dying and green-colored, living recyclables. The chemical formula for cellulose reveals contributions from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen: C6H10O5.

Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.

The process of converting nitrogen into nitrogen compounds by bacteria is called nitrogen fixation. This process is essential for making nitrogen available for plant uptake and for supporting all forms of life.

Refractory nitrogen refers to nitrogen compounds that are resistant to breakdown by microbial activity in soil, making them less available to plants. These compounds can accumulate in soil over time, impacting nitrogen cycling and plant growth. Examples include organic nitrogen compounds like lignin and humus.

Yes

Nitrogen is a simple asphyxiant that is without other significant physiologic effects. Inhalation of nitrogen is dangerous only when it lowers the available oxygen in air to below life-sustaining levels

No. They can not use nitrogen gas because the triple bonds of nitrogen can only be broken down for use in living things, plants, by the symbiotic bacteria in the root nodes. Then in other forms nitrogen is taken up into the plant and from there to other trophic levels.

Nitrogen can be fixed in ecosystems through biological processes, like by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants. It can also be fixed through human activities, such as the use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture.

It took 300 thousand years after the big bang for the Universe to cool enough to create atoms; hydrogen and helium formed first. Nitrogen was formed in the stars through the process of nucleosynthesis. When a star's helium mass becomes great enough to reach the necessary pressure and temperature, helium begins to fuse into still heavier elements, including nitrogen.

Its address is 15th (V-A) group and 2nd period of periodic table of elements.

When something is done invivo it is happening in a living plant, animal or bacteria.

When something is invitro it is done in the lab, in a petri dish of other artificial and controlled setting.

a molecule that carries Nitrogen and can Donate the Nitrogen towards building of other molecules like proteins or DNA. An important Nitrogen Shuttle is Glutamine. It can produce Ammonium, be a source of energy and have other functions too.

Plants mainly obtain nitrogen in the form of nitrates from the soil through their roots. This nitrogen is then used by plants to build proteins and other essential molecules. When plants die or shed leaves, nitrogen is returned to the soil through decomposition, where it can be taken up by other plants.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria get nitrogen from the atmosphere, specifically from nitrogen gas (N2). They convert this nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use, such as ammonia or nitrate, through a process called nitrogen fixation.

Nitrogen has the chemical symbol N and atomic number 7. It is a non-metal element on the periodic table. Its most common form is diatomic nitrogen gas (N2), which makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere.

Yes, high concentrations of nitrogen can displace oxygen in the air, leading to oxygen deprivation and suffocation, a condition known as nitrogen asphyxiation. This is more likely in confined spaces with poor ventilation.
