Data on nitrogen elements

In 1772, Daniel Rutherford of England discovered nitrogen in the remaining gases of phosphorus and air, and nitrogen in the proteins of animals and plants. There are nitrates in the soil, and important minerals are nitrates and Chilean nitrates, etc. In September 1772, Daniel Rutherford published a highly influential paper entitled The Fixed Air and Helium Gas Introduction, which is now preserved in the British Museum. In his paper, he described the nature of nitrogen, which can not sustain the life of animals, can not be absorbed by ash water, nor can be absorbed by alkali, and has the fire extinguishing characteristics, which he called the gas as ¡°helium gas¡± or ¡°toxic gas.¡±

The name nitrogen was proposed in 1787 by Lavazzi and other French scientists, and today's "nitrogen" Latin name Nitrogenium comes from the English Nitrogen, which means "component of nitrogen."The chemical symbol is N. The chemical enlightenment of China's Qingdao was first translated into Chinese by Xu Shui as "dull gas," meaning that it "dried up" the oxygen in the air.
