Answer:
Nitrogen:
Nitrogen is important to the chemical industry. It is used to make fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives. To make these products, nitrogen must first be reacted with hydrogen to produce ammonia. This is done by the Haber process.
The chemical industry uses this gas in the production of fertilizers, nylon, nitric acid, dyes, medicines, and explosives. Here are the five applications of nitrogen in everyday life.
Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
sulphur:
Sulphur is used in the vulcanisation of black rubber, as a fungicide and in black gunpowder. Most sulphur is, however, used in the production of sulphuric acid, which is perhaps the most important chemical manufactured by western civilisations.
sulphur is used in black gunpowder , matches, and fireworks; in the vulcanization of rubber; as a fungicide, insecticide, and fumigant; in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers; and in the treatment of certain skin diseases.
Sulphur is mobile in soil and is primarily borne through fertilizers and pesticides. Another main sulphur source for plants is manure. The ratio of sulphur in plants is 10:1 and carried in the tissues of the plant. Much of this is brought up from natural soil decay and previous plant matter.
carbon:
It makes up for 18% of the human body. Sugar, glucose, proteins etc are all made of it. Carbon in its diamond form is used in jewellery. Amorphous carbon is used to make inks and paints. Graphite is used as the lead in your pencils. One of the most important uses is carbon dating.We can actually use carbon to measure the age of things. Scientists use a rare form of carbon called Carbon-14 to measure the age of fossils, bones etc. The release of this carbon-14 is recorded to estimate the life of the said organic substance. This is how scientists find the age and period of dinosaur bones and fossils
