Question

What is chemical fixation of dinitrogen?

Answer 1

THE molybdenum-containing enzyme nitrogenase1 catalyses the ATP-dependent six-electron reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to NH3. Previous attempts to detect partially reduced nitrogen intermediates, both enzyme-bound and free in solution, have failed2,3. We report here the first detection of an enzyme-bound dinitrogen intermediate, which is only present when the enzyme is reducing N2 and which on both acid and alkali hydrolysis yields hydrazine (N2H4). This dinitrogen intermediate need not be N2H4, because the chemistry of Mo and W dinitrogen complexes (see below) suggests that other enzyme-bound dinitrogen-hydride intermediate species could undergo non-enzymatic hydrolysis on acid and alkali quenching of the enzyme reaction to give N2H4.mark my ans as brainliest

Answer 2

hello frnd.
_________

Nitrogen fixation causes nitrogen (N2) free from any natural or industrial process, which is a relatively inert gas in abundance in the air, adding chemical substances to other elements, to add more-reactive nitrogen compounds such as ammonia, nitrates Or builds nitrites.

In normal circumstances, nitrogen does not react with other elements.
Nevertheless, nitrogenous compounds are found in all fertile soils, in all living things, in many food items, in coal and such naturally occurring chemicals as sodium nitrate (Namapeeta) and ammonia.
Nitrogen is also found in the nucleus of each living cell as one of the chemical components of DNA.
