In this post we will learn about nitrogen uses and its properties.
Some Important use of nitrogen are:
It is used in the manufacture of nitric acid, ammonia, calcium cyanamide, etc., it acts as an inert diluent inreactive chemicals, it is used in filling electric bulbs to reduce the rate of volatilisation of the tungsten filament, nitrogen gas -filled thermometers are used for measuring high temperatures and liquid nitrogen is used as a refrigerant to preserve biological materials, food items and in cryosurgery
Some properties of nitrogen are: Below are the properties of nitrogen and its features.
It exists in both liquid and gaseous forms, it forms electrovalent as well as covalent compounds with non metals. It is not metallic in nature,It is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, Exceptionally small atomic size , Absence of d-orbitals in its valence shell
I hope this was useful, we will learn more about nitrogen cycle in future posts.
