About Nitrogen

Nitrogen, named after the Greek word nitron meaning "native soda" and genes meaning "to form", is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. According to the Los Alamos Countrywide Laboratory, nitrogen constitutes 78 per cent of the Earth’s atmosphere. In contrast, the Martian atmosphere comprises 2.6 per cent nitrogen.

In its gaseous form, nitrogen is colourless and odourless and is generally considered inert. In its liquid form, nitrogen is also colourless and odourless. According to Los Alamos, liquid nitrogen presents an appearance that matches that of water.

One important nitrogen compound is ammonia (NH3), which can be produced via the Haber process, in which nitrogen is reacted with hydrogen. The colourless, foul-smelling ammonia can be liquefied to produce nitrogen fertiliser. Approximately 80 per cent of produced ammonia is used as fertiliser, and it is also employed as a coolant and in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, pesticides and dyes as well as in cleaning agents, according to the Big Apple Department of the country.
