Key Stage 2

Meaning

Nitrogen is a gas in the air.

Key Stage 3

Meaning

Nitrogen is a non-metal element with an atomic number of 7.

About Nitrogen

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air.
Nitrogen has the chemical symbol N.

Molecular Structure

The chemical formula for a Nitrogen molecule is N2.

Atomic Structure

Nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an atomic number of 7 and a atomic mass of 14.
Nitrogen is in Period 2 of the Periodic Table because it has 2 electron shells.

Properties

Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature.
Nitrogen rarely reacts with other chemicals.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Nitrogen is a non-metal element, on the Periodic Table with 7 protons in the nucleus.

About Nitrogen

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air.
Nitrogen has the chemical symbol N.

Molecular Structure

The chemical formula for a Nitrogen molecule is N2.
Nitrogen forms a covalent bond with another Nitrogen atoms to produce a simple covalent molecule.

Atomic Structure

The most common stable isotope of Nitrogen has 7 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an atomic mass of 14.
Nitrogen is in Period 2 of the Periodic Table because it has 2 electron shells.
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell so it can form 3 bonds with other atoms.

Properties

Nitrogen is gas at standard temperature and pressure.
Nitrogen rarely reacts with other chemicals.
