  1. The Life of Nitrogen By: Jessica Ferguson

  2. Info about me  I am in group 5 I have 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 7 neutrons I have 5 valence electrons My formula weight is 14.007 (to be exact) I am also a nonmetal My atomic symbol is N

  3. Who found me? Daniel Rutherford is the guy who found me He called me a noxious gas He found me in the year 1772 Rutherford was a Scottish chemist

  4. Video http://www.wimp.com/scientistnitrogen/

  5. Pictures

  6. What is special about myself? I make up 78% of the air When I am a liquid I can freeze things like food A bunch of big food industries use me to freeze their food I also help safeguard the Declaration of Independence and other important documents

  7. My BFF’s and me I love my best friends Oxygen and Hydrogen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I do NOT like the people in group 2 (they are stuck up and don’t have enough electrons to bond with me). I also don’t get along with the Noble Gases because they think that they are so perfect! P.s. I love myself the most ;)

  8. My achievements I am used in fertilizer to help plants grow I am used to help preserve food I am in light bulbs I am used to make stainless steel “It can also be used as an alternative to carbon dioxide in pressurizing beer. Nitrogen gas makes smaller bubbles so the beer is smoother” (“Uses”).

  9. Important compounds that I make Ammonia Nitrate Nitric Acid Nitrogen Gas Nitrous oxide

  10. My Special Features “Liquid nitrogen is used to preserve (called cryopreservation because of the low temperature) of blood, sperm and egg and other biological samples. It is also used to cool X-ray detectors and central processing units in computers when they are hot” (“Uses”). I can be turned into nitrous oxide which is commonly known as laughing gas.

  11. My chemical and physical features I can be turned into a liquid I can be a gas My common oxidation states are 5,4,3,2,-3 I normally make covalent bonds because I prefer them better than ionic
