Answer 1

• The seventh element of the periodic table between carbon and oxygen is Nitrogen.
• It’s an important part of amino acids.
• Around eighty percent of the Earth’s atmosphere comprises nitrogen gas.
• It has no colour, mostly diatomic non metal gas along with odourless and colourless in nature.
• Since it has five electrons in its outer shell, most of its compounds are trivalent.
• It is a constituent of all living tissues. Since it is a component of DNA and part of a genetic code, it is an essential element of life.
• It is found in nitrates and nitrites in soil and water.
• All these substances are part of the nitrogen cycle and interconnected. Industrial companies emit nitrogen extensively, increasing nitrite and nitrate content in the ground and water, being the consequence of reactions in the nitrogen cycle.
