N2 gas (N2) is a nonpolar molecule with linear geometry. It is composed of a triple covalent bond as well as 10 electrons of valence.<\/span><\/p>\n The molecule is elongated, keeping the forces of repelling between bonding pair and lone electrons to a minimum. The molecule’s geometry is defined via VSEPR theory.<\/span><\/p>\n Nitrogen (N2) is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas which makes up 78.09 percent (by volume) of the air we breathe. It is not flammable and is not a fuel for combustion.<\/span><\/p>\n Nitrogen gas is a little lighter than air and more soluble in water. It is often described as an inert gas. However, it’s not inert. It is formed by nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide by combining oxygen with it ammonia, hydrogen, and nitrogen sulfide enriched with sulfur. Nitrogen compounds are created naturally by biological processes. Compounds can also be formed when temperatures are high or by using catalysts. At higher temperatures, nitrogen can join with active metals like magnesium, lithium, and titanium to create Nitrides. Nitrogen is essential for various biological processes and can be employed as a fertilizer, typically in the form of ammonia or ammonia-based substances. Compounds made with halogens, and specific organic compounds could be explosive.<\/span><\/p>\n Nitrogen condenses as it approaches its boiling point -195.8o C (-320.4o F) and turns into a clear liquid lighter than water.<\/span><\/p>\n
