I have to make a rap about an element and I got assigned nitrogen.
I have to include these facts: Name: Nitrogen Symbol: N Origin of the name: Greek Atomic number: 7 Atomic mass: 14.0067 Boiling point: 77.4 K Melting point: 63.05 K Person and date of discovery: Daniel Rutherford in 1772. Electron configuration: 1s22s22p3 Common uses: • Used to manufacture stainless steel • Used in light bulbs as a cheaper alternative to argon. • When dried and pressurized, nitrogen gas is used as a dielectric gas for high voltage equipment. Interesting facts: • Nitrogen can be used as an alternative to carbon dioxide in pressurizing beer. Nitrogen gas makes smaller bubbles, so the beer is smoother. • Nitrogen gas is often used on top of liquid explosive to keep them from exploding. • Nitrogen is used to reduce the fire hazard in military aircraft fuel systems.
On the Pauling electronegativity scale, Nitrogen is a 3.04. The first ionization energy of Nitrogen is 1402.3 KJ/Mol. The electron affinity is 7.
Any ideas? Any and everything is welcomed and appreciated. <3
