  • the chemical element of atomic number 7, a colourless, odourless unreactive gas that forms about 78 per cent of the earth's atmosphere.
  • Liquid nitrogen (made by distilling liquid air) boils at 77.4 kelvins (−195.8°C) and is used as a coolant.
  • It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas that is the most plentiful element in Earth's atmosphere and is a constituent of all living matter.
  • Nitrogen is found to have either 3 or 5 valence electrons and lies at the top of Group 15 on the periodic table.
  • Its physical properties are very similar to those of water (melting point 2.0 °C, boiling point 113.5 °C, density 1.00 g/cm³).
  • The formal charge on N is usually -1 for an anion, 0 for a neutral compound, and +1 in cations. A nitrogen atom with a formal charge of -3 would correspond to a nitride ion, N³⁻, which is strongly basic in aqueous solution.
  • Nitrogen is important to the chemical industry. It is used to make fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives.
  • Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is essential for growth and reproduction in both plants and animals.
  • It is found in amino acids that make up proteins, in nucleic acids, that comprise the hereditary material and life's blueprint for all cells, and in many other organic and inorganic compounds.
