Article changed over to new WikiProject Elements format by David M, and Malcolm Farmer. Elementbox converted 12:08, 23 Jun 2005 by Femto (previous revision was that of 02:15, 18 Jun 2005).

\=== Information Sources === Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Nitrogen. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Nitrogen Statistics and Information, USGS Periodic Table - Nitrogen, from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.

nitrogen

premalignant

Sure, use that word if you want. Richard Cane 20:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Richard. Precancerous sounds amateurish, or maybe it's just me :-) JFW | T@lk 21:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is nitrogen or liquid nitrogen adding to conductor to make it superconductor and how?

tis needs to show how nitrogen is used by plants and how it can be returned if deplenished :*) Scout 21 16:01, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

nitrogen really colourless?

Well, if you see this [1] - air is supposedly slightly blue. Nitrogen being the major component of this, I would expect to be slightly blue in hue - or is this due to the water vapor? -- Natalinasmpf 01:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The scientific folklore, as I remember it, claims that it is the oxygen in our atmosphere causing the blue tint. WayneConrad 20:43, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oxygen is blue due to the electronic configuration of dioxygen allowing a forbidden transiton to occur (electron spin inversion) which absorbs yellow light.

nitrogen tire inflation comment

The comment regarding tire inflation may be incorrect. According to the entries on Nitrogen and Oxygen, the Atomic Radius, Covalent Radius and Van Der Waals Radius are all larger for Nitrogen than Oxygen.--Osudude 16:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely wrong; oxygen generally diffuses faster than nitrogen. See for example: http://www.uigi.com/noncryo.html#Membrane http://www.airproducts.com/Products/Equipment/PRISMMembranes/page01.htm
