WebElements Periodic Table of the Elements | Nitrogen

Chemical reactions of the elements

Reaction of nitrogen with air

Nitrogen gas does not react with air under normal conditions.

Reaction of nitrogen with water

Nitrogen gas does not react with water. It does, however, dissolve to the extent of about x g kg^-1 at 20°C (297 K) and 1 atmosphere pressure.

Reaction of nitrogen with the halogens

Nitrogen gas appears not to react with ha;ogens under normal conditions.

Reaction of nitrogen with acids

Nitrogen gas does not react with acids under normal conditions.

Reaction of nitrogen with bases

Nitrogen gas does not react with bases under normal conditions.
