= Description =
{{Stationpedia|Nitrogen can be mixed with [[Oxygen]] to stabilize its flammability and avoid Oxygen toxicity, and is a resource in its own right, useful for creating, a breathable [[atmosphere]] (at roughly 3:1 Nitrogen and Oxygen). The most efficient source of Nitrogen is from [[Ice (Nitrice)]] deposites found around the Solar System. You can Condense Nitrogen into Liquid Nitrogen by lowering its temperature below its boiling point.}}

<b>Nitrogen</b>, also referred to as <b>N<sub>2</sub></b>, is an inert [[Gas|gas]] most often used in the creation of [[Air|air]]. 

= Details =
Nitrogen will condense into <b>Liquid Nitrogen</b> starting at {{Temperature|190}}. The boiling point of Nitrogen is {{Temperature|75}} at 100 kPa.

Due to its high molar density, low heat capacity, and generally inert nature, Nitrogen is an excellent pressure agent for condensing other gases into liquids and keeping [[Water|water]] from evaporating passively.

[[Soybean|Soybeans]] require Nitrogen to grow, but they will still exhale [[Oxygen]].

Nitrogen is used in the creation of [[Nitrous Oxide]] when combined with [[Oxygen]] in a [[Nitrolyzer]].
