Below 35.4 K (−237.6 °C) nitrogen assumes the cubic crystal allotropic form (called the alpha phase). [49] Liquid nitrogen, a colourless fluid resembling water in appearance, but with 80.8% of the density (the density of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point is 0.808 g/mL), is a common cryogen. [50] Solid nitrogen has many crystalline ...
It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C 2v point group symmetry. Industrially, NO 2 is an intermediate in the synthesis of nitric acid, millions of tons of which are produced each year, primarily for the production of fertilizers. Nitrogen dioxide is poisonous and can be fatal if inhaled in large quantities. [8]
For atoms or molecules of a well-defined molar mass M (in kg/mol), the number density can sometimes be expressed in terms of their mass density ρ m (in kg/m 3) as =. Note that the ratio M/N A is the mass of a single atom or molecule in kg.

Nitrogen frost has a density of 0.85 g cm −3. [49] As a bulk material the crystals are pressed together and density is near that of water. It is temperature dependent and given by ρ = 0.0134T 2 − 0.6981T + 1038.1 kg/m 3. [48] The volume coefficient of expansion is given by 2×10 −6 T 2 − 0.0002T + 0.006 K −1. [48]
The molecule is planar with an N-N bond distance of 1.78 Å and N-O distances of 1.19 Å. The N-N distance corresponds to a weak bond, since it is significantly longer than the average N-N single bond length of 1.45 Å. [6]
When it is converted to the covalent red phosphorus, the density goes to 2.2–2.4 g/cm 3 and melting point to 590 °C, and when white phosphorus is transformed into the (also covalent) black phosphorus, the density becomes 2.69–3.8 g/cm 3 and melting temperature ~200 °C. Both red and black phosphorus forms are significantly harder than ...
These complexes, in which a nitrogen molecule donates at least one lone pair of electrons to a central metal cation, illustrate how N 2 might bind to the metal(s) in nitrogenase and the catalyst for the Haber process: these processes involving dinitrogen activation are vitally important in biology and in the production of fertilisers.
