Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a diatomic gas which comprises 78 percent of the earth's atmosphere.
In addition to air, nitrogen is found in the protein matter of all life forms, in some natural gas-hydrocarbon deposits, and in many organic and inorganic compounds.

Technical Properties
Product: nitrogen
Chemical formula: N2
Purity level: ≥ 99.9%
Relative density (air = 1): 0.97
Aspect: colourless gas
Odour: odourless gas
Limit of flammability in air: not flammable
Other properties: nontoxic, only slightly soluble in water and most other liquids, poor conductor of heat and electricity, inert. However at high temperatures and pressures, it will combine with some reactive metals (such as lithium and magnesium) to form nitrides, as well as with some gaseous elements such as hydrogen and oxygen.
