Nitrogen • Element Symbol: N • Element Name: Nitrogen • Atomic number: 7 • Atomic mass: 14
LEGIT STUFF. • Nitrogen is a gas and a nonmetal. • Its located in the nitrogen group.
Nitrogen is awesome. • It was discovered by Daniel Rutherford in 1772.
This is a joy. • It is used in the Earth’s crust & atmosphere, poisons, explosives,and in ammonia.
Scienceis EPIC • The French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier named nitrogen azote, meaning without life. • It makes up 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere but only 3% of Mars’ atmosphere. • The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually nitrogen gas bubbles popping. • Nitrogen is one of the ingredients in laughing gas. • Nitrous oxide is also used in motor racing to increase the power of engine and speed of the vehicle.
