Nitrogen is one of the main building blocks of life. Every living things need nitrogen to either breath or to grow. Nitrogen can be found almost everywhere.For example it can be found in the air,in soil, in water and even in volcanic gasses. Nitrogen is one of the most important elements on earth. Developed by: .
