Nitrogen
(n.) A
colorless
nonmetallic
element,
tasteless

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

as
contrasted
with the
nonmetals,
or
metalloids.

forms;
viz., as a
substance
of a deep olive
color,
in a
semimetallic
form, and in
colorless
quadratic
crystals
similar
to the
diamond
in
hardness
and other
properties.
It
occurs
in
nature
also in
boracite,
datolite,
tourmaline,
and some other
minerals.
