Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element. Researchers from Justus Liebig University, ...

The azide radical was identified in 1956 and a tetranitrogen complex was glimpsed in mass spectra in 2002, but its structure remains undetermined. 2 While the dinitrogen molecule is low in energy, ...

The molecule, he adds, is also a powerful explosive that generates only N 2 as a by-product. Next, he says, the chemists are hoping to make the neutral nitrogen allotrope N 10.

For example: If a liquid nitrogen leak from a 500L tank loses 10 L every minute, it can drop O₂ levels from 20.9% to 15% (very low and dangerous) in under 8 minutes in a 10 x 10-meter room. If ...

According to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, human deaths from nitrogen gas can occur from the gas's ability to displace oxygen in the air.
