NITROGEN

BASIC INFO:

Nitrogen: is colorless and also odorless. Its just like air almost.

State: this is a Gas.

Atomic Number: 7

Mass Number: 14.007

Density:1.2506 g/liter

Characteristics/Properties: Has an Atomic Structure  spectroscopy(science) : electron configurations. Gas state.

Precautions: Rapid release of nitrogen gas into an enclosed space can displace of oxygen, and therefore can cause asphyxiation hazard.

Uses: You can make light bulbs, Explosives, Laughing gas, and TNT.

Sources:Nitrogen can be made by liquification and then fractional distillation of the air. It is very easily done commercially. It can also be made by heating NaN3 to 300 degrees C. Annual world wide production is around 44,000,000 tons.

Cost: $2 per gallon.

INFORMATION: Nitrogen was first discovered Daniel Rutherford in 1772, Scotland. Historically used from farmers to help wit there crops and other things. Nitrogen is also odorless tasteless, and also clear and nonmetal. Very fun to play with when you are a scientist.

Interesting Facts: This is a nonmetal also scientists use this to fool around with experiments and has been around forever like As soon as the Earth has been here. Those are some pretty cool facts.
