what is a good definition of nitrogen?

Question

give an example of nitrogen...

Answer 1

Nitrogen is a chemical element which has the symbol N and atomic number 7. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.1% percent of Earth's atmosphere.

Answer 2

Nitrogen has at least two working definitions in chemistry:

1.(Nitrogen atom.) Nitrogen is an element with the symbol N and atomic number 7. The nucleus of nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 neutrons. Nitrogen atoms are important in proteins and other biological and pre-biological molecules like ammonia.

2. (Nitrogen gas.) On Earth, pure nitrogen exists at usual temperatures and pressures as an elemental gas consisting of molecules of N2. Nitrogen gas is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert at standard conditions, and makes up 78.1% percent of our atmosphere.

Answer 3

Nitrogen is a chemical element which has the symbol N and atomic number 7. It is a constituent element of all living tissues and amino acids. It is also the largest single component of the Earth's atmosphere.

An example of nitrogen is Liquid Nitrogen.

Answer 4

Nitrogenis a chemical element which has the symbol N and atomic number 7.

Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.1% percent of Earth's atmosphere.

Nitrogen is a constituent element of all living tissues and amino acids.

Many industrially important compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid, and cyanides, contain nitrogen.

Nitrogen is a nonmetal

Answer 5

Nitrogen (IPA: /ˈnaɪtrədʒən/) is a chemical element which has the symbol N and atomic number 7. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.1% percent of Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is a constituent element of all living tissues and amino acids. Many industrially important compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid, and cyanides, contain nitrogen.

oops same as justin haha

Answer 6

There's only one real definition: an element containing 7 protons in its nucleus.

Answer 7

NITROGEN IS DERIVED FROM A LATIN WORD WHICH MEANS 'INERT'.AS THE ELEMENT WAS INERT TO MOST OF THE REACTIONS THEY NAMED IT AS NITROGEN(N2).

Answer 8

nitrogen is a gas that controls combustion.(e.i. it controls the activity of oxygen in the air.)

Answer 9

An element.

Answer 10

no one
