    NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK

    NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK INTRODUCTION: In this article, we discuss nitrogen its important properties, and some incidents that happened in the past with people and instruments that deal with nitrogen. So, let's start: LIQUID NITROGEN INCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE TECHNICIAN OF NASA: The First space shuttle mission was named STS-1, the first orbital mission of NASA. This mission is uniquely described in this article due to the incident in which three technicians died due to inhalation of excess nitrogen of nitrogen. IMPORTANCE OF NITROGEN: Nitrogen is a crucial element in the periodic table due to many important properties. Nitrogen is a non-toxic & colorless gas that occupies 78% of the atmosphere. HISTORY OF NITROGEN: In the past, scientists had different opinions about this gas. For example, some scientists think it was brunt air because no combination occur in the presence of this element. Some believe it is very toxic and has no life because the environment fil...

    Oxygen: An important Element for Life

    Oxygen: An important Element for life  Oxygen is a very useful element and much more important for life. Oxygen causes aerobic respiration which uses oxygen to burn food that we eat into energy-rich molecules ATP. Oxygen is a very abundant element in the universe as well as in this atmosphere. It is the third most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in this atmosphere. Allotrope of Oxygen: Oxygen has three allotropes: i. Dioxygen                                             ii.Ozone                               iii. Tetraoxygen i. Dioxygen : Dioxygen is very important for sustaining life on this planet Earth. Dioxygen is used in the process of aerobic respiration. Which is very important for life on this planet. ii. Ozone: Ozone is ...

    Nitrogen: Cool Element very Important for Life

     Nitrogen is a very useful and abundant element in the atmosphere. About 78% of the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen elements. Nitrogen is a quite chill and cool element. Joke about Nitrogen: A scientist took a selfie while he was drinking liquid nitrogen He was quoted as saying "It was the coolest shot I ever took" Properties of nitrogen : Molecular weight: 14.01g/mol Boiling point: -195.795 degrees c Melting point: -210 degrees c Density: 1.251g/L Appearance: Colourless gas(at room temperature and pressure), Colourless liquid and solid. Isotopes of Nitrogen: Nitrogen has two stable isotopes N-14 and N-15. N-14 is the most abundant element in the atmosphere at 99.6% and N-15 is about 0.4% of this atmosphere. Each isotope has its own use for scientific and engineering purposes. Nitrogen Cycle and Nitrogen Fixation: First, all games start with atmospheric nitrogen which is composed of about 78% of the total atmosphere. But there is a problem plants and animals can't use ...

    Carbon: An Element of Life

    Carbon: An Element of Life Carbon: An Element of Life  Carbon is an element of life. We, humans, use carbon so much that we can't think of living without carbon and its compounds. Carbon is an element formed in stars during a process called "Nucleosynthesis". This is the process by which smaller nuclei fuse together to form larger nuclei. Carbon is an element of extreme importance in today's world not just in the fuel sector but also in the pharmaceutical industry as well in factories and large industries. Carbon is an element of the periodic table that has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number is 12.011u it has 6 electrons of which 4 are its valence electrons. It has a valency of 4. That is why it forms large compounds that are necessary for life and this property of carbon is known as "catenation". Allotropy of carbon: Carbon is a very important compound that has several allotropy but in this article, we discuss only its two most important allotropy. For...

    Aluminium: An Element that changes the world Completely

      Aluminum: An Element That Changes the World Completely Aluminium uses in aerospce industry Aluminum is a very lightweight metal. Alloy is very precise before 18 century it was more expensive than gold and silver. Its high price is due to its extraction cost from clay. In clay, it forms a very strong bond with oxygen that why it requires very high energy. Aluminum word derived from the Latin word "Alumen" which means "Bitter salt". Aluminium was discovered by Danish physicist " Hans Christian Orsted" in 1825. It has a silvery-white appearance. What is Aluminium? Aluminum is a very lightweight metal in the periodic table. It is the 13th element in the periodic table and also a very useful element. Where Aluminium mined?  Aluminum minerals include "Boehmite, Diaspore, Gibbsite, Cupalite, and steinhardtite, etc.," There are over 270 different types of aluminum minerals from which aluminum is extracted. Australia and China have huge resources for al...

    Boron: All Secret of Boron Element in Detail

    Man Taking Boron Supplement "Boron Boost: Unveiling the Benefits of this Essential Mineral for Health and Wellness" Boron is an element of much importance in many industries including medicines and technology industries. Boron has the atomic number 5 and its mass number is 10.811u it has many uses in supplements, in clearing industries, and its many technological industries. Minerals of Boron: Boron has approximately 230 minerals from which boron is extracted. These minerals include kernite, tincalconite, probertite, ulexite, colemanite, meyerhofferite, inyoite, pandermite, inderite, hydroboracite, datolite, sassolite, and many more I hope I explain these minerals in detail in other article. History of Boron: In ancient times boron was used by China in the form of sodium tetraborate which was white in color but not pure form. It was first isolated by Joseph-Louis, Gay-Lussac, and Louis-Jaques, French chemists, and independently by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist, in 1808...

    Beryllium: An ideal Element use in Web space telescope

    Beryllium used in Space Shutters and in web space telescope Beryllium is the fourth element in the periodic table. It is the second lightest metal after lithium. It is a shiny grey metal that has a very high melting point. It is an element also used in web space telescopes. So let's start this article and explore this element: Discoverer of Beryllium: Berylium is an element discovered by French chemist "Lewis Nicholas Bachmann" in 1798. This metal was isolated by two chemists "Fredrich Wohlor" from Germany and " Antoine Bussie" from french in 1828. This element originally known as "Glucinium" is derived from the Greek word "Glykys" which means "sweet in taste". In 1957 the metal was officially named "Beryllium" after the Greek word "Beryllos" means "Mineral Barrel". Berlium is very reactive that why it can't be found in its pure form. Beryllium is obtained from the minerals "beryl, be...

    Lithium: An Element which used in Hydrogen Bomb

    Lithium is an extraordinary Element  Lithium was discovered by Swedish chemist Johan A.  August in 1817. Named from the Greek word lithos, it means stone. It is the third-highest element in nature. Appearance is soft-sliver grey. Lithium is the topic of today's discussion. So, let's start: As you all know lithium is from its major application in batteries which are used in several devices. Lithium is the third lightest element known to humans.  Lithium in the periodic table: Lithium is present in alklia family. The Alkalia family has the special property of forming alkalis with water. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 its mass number is 6.914u and it has a very low density in the periodic table. Lithium is the lightest metal known to man. That is why is alloy majorly used in the aerospace industry. Lithium mineral : As lithium is very reactive it cannot be found in nature in its pure form. Its major minerals are "lepidolite, petalite, and spodumene".From this we human...
