My answer to todays trivia question is a FART, that's not a noble gas.

Interesting that nitrogen is not a reactive gas, in reality, quite inert. How else would you describe something that comprises 78% of the earth's atmosphere?

so does that make me 71WORDS old then ?

ELEMENTARY my dear Veggiepatch.

 

[Big G]

QUITE INERT?? NO WAY!! Nitrogen, in its elemental form, reacts with many elements and compounds forming nitrides (generally reactive in themselves). It is also important for fertilisers and the list goes on. As N2 it is less reactive with many many things and will smother most (BUT NOT ALL) fires. It can be a fuel that reacts with certain fires.

and some would say 78% of the earth's population!

OK well tell me how elemental nitrogen freely reacts to form other compounds under normal atmospheric conditions? Arguing with someone with an Applied Chemistry Degree from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) isn't going to fare well for you.

It is a diatomic molecule with a high bond strength, hence its UNreactivity. If you are talking about the likes of boron and carbon nitrides, they are formed under unique conditions, nothing like that found in the atmosphere. You may be thinking of "reactive" nitrogen which may be a result of fertiliser use and forms part of the nitrogen cycle.

Waiting for a return of serve....

I'm waiting to read the return serve too

I'm waiting to read the return serve too

Thank you.

Wow, I name you Professor Veg.
UTS is a great uni my daughter did her nursing degree there and Son inlaw his mechanical engineers degree

I completed it back in 1990. How someone as f**ked up as me , work full time, complete a 6 year part time Bachelor Degree in 5 years AND still completely fail one semester is still beyond me.

I had the hots for one of my classmates, Sonya Korgitta. She was a carrot haired girl, tall (being a NSW rep netballer) and the most exquisite tanned body. And glasses which is turn on for me! Towards the end of the degree, she announced she was getting married. My heart fell through the floor. She chose me to be her partner during practicals and she had this annoying habit of getting REALLY close to me. Well, more like a tease. She never wore a bra but wore sleeveless dresses and seemed to position herself so I could cop more than a peek. Purrrrrrr......
