nitrogen

     

Nitrogen (pronounce /ˈnaɪtɹəʤɪn/) is a chemical element that has the symbol N and atomic number 7 and atomic weight 14.0067. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.08% by volume of Earth's atmosphere.

Trivia about nitrogen

  • (Sarah gives the clue from the Moto Restaurant in Chicago, IL.) Molecular gastronomy uses science to be creative, efficient, & delicious, as in ice cream made instantly using the liquid form of this element; faster freezing means more smaller ice crystals & smoother ice cream
  • This element has the symbol N
  • By volume, this element makes up about 78% of our atmosphere
  • Legumes absorb this element from the air & are often planted to restore it to the soil
  • Sometimes used to make explosives, it's the most plentiful gas in the air
  • Aided by lightning each year, 100 million tons of this gas washes into the soil and becomes fertilizer
  • Ammonia, widely used as a refrigerant & cleaner, is composed of hydrogen & this element
  • Ca(NO3)2, used as a fertilizer, is made from atmospheric this, the atmosphere's most abundant element
  • All amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen & this element
  • This element makes up about 78% of normal dry air by volume
  • The air that we breathe is mostly not oxygen but this gas, N
  • Decompression sickness, AKA the bends, is characterized by the formation of bubbles of this gas in the blood
  • Keeping your lawn healthy might require adding a fertilizer that includes this chemical element, symbol N
  • The scuba diving hazard known as the bends results from this gas being released into the blood during a too rapid ascent
  • It makes up about 80% of the Earth's atmosphere
  • When bubbles of this gas form in a scuba diver's blood, the bends can occur
  • This gas forms tiny bubbles in a diver's bloodstream that can be dangerous if he ascends too quickly
  • The 3 elements most commonly found in garden fertilizers are phosphorus, potassium & this element
  • Plant products called alkaloids contain carbon & this element, the next one up on the periodic table
  • Ammonia is made up of 3 parts hydrogen & 1 part this
  • Discoverer Daniel Rutherford might fertilize with it; don't try to freeze yourself by drinking the liquid form
  • Ammonia:____H3
  • (Cheryl of the Clue Crew is under pressure.) The afflication known as the bends usually results from bubbles of this gas which is highly soluble in the fatty tissues of the body
  • Edward Franklin's life work was a list of compounds in which this common gas replaces oxygen
  • Air bags work by heating sodium azide, NaN3, to produce this gaseous element that fills the bag
  • In the Haber process, hydrogen & this element are combined under high pressure to produce ammonia
  • Why is this & not oxygen the most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere? because I said so!
  • In the 1770s Lavoisier discovered that air is made up mostly of oxygen & this gas
  • The Venus' flytrap catches & digests insects mainly to absorb this element
