Ni`tro*gen (?), n. [L. nitrum
natron + -gen: cf. F. nitrogène. See
Niter.] (Chem.) A colorless nonmetallic element,
tasteless and odorless, comprising four fifths of the atmosphere by
volume. It is chemically very inert in the free state, and as such is
incapable of supporting life (hence the name azote still used
by French chemists); but it forms many important compounds, as
ammonia, nitric acid, the cyanides, etc, and is a constituent of all
organized living tissues, animal or vegetable. Symbol N. Atomic
weight 14. It was formerly regarded as a permanent noncondensible
gas, but was liquefied in 1877 by Cailletet of Paris, and Pictet of
Geneva.
- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
- A colorless, odorless gas and a chemical element (symbol N) with an atomic number of 7 and atomic weight of 14.0067.
