If Nitrogen makes your plants green, then what color is Nitrogen?

So I smoked some of my Critical kush while watching my Dr Grinspoon grow and thought to myself:

If N makes the leaves green, then what color is N?

Is pure N green??

Thanks for any help answering my useless question!:)

There is an easy joke in the thread but ill leave it at that
Yup. Leave that one alone.

Nitrogen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, diatomic and generally inert gas at standard temperature and pressure. At atmospheric pressure, nitrogen is liquid between 63 K and 77 K.

Great response man! Thank you.

What is diatomic?

What you mean it is a gas? Is it not a dissolved solid in the water? (tds/ec meters don't pick up gas) otherwise the DO (dissolved oxygen) would show up on ec meters?

Diatomic means that it has two atoms and cannot exist on its own... just like oxygen.

Nitrogen doesnt exist in your fertilizer as just the element N floating around all lonely. It's part of a compound usually either NH4 or NO3. Hydrogen is a diatomic gas too, but H2O that little guy and OH my, we gots us some liquid.

So diatomic means it is a molecule and not an element?

So just like water is a molecule (1x hydrogen atom and 2x oxygen atoms) nitrogen is what? NHO4=? H= HYDROGEN? O= OXYGEN what is the N if the N is diatomic?

Thanks man :)

Close...

Diatomic elements like oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen etc (there are 7 of them) exist as both molecules and elements. The oxygen you breathe is O2. This is because oxygen and its diatomic friends get very lonely very easily and always need a buddy. That means that because it has two atoms that are the same, it is both a molecule and an element. H20 is also a molecule, but it is not an element. Hope that makes sense.

very interesting indeed!

Can humans breath plain oxygen? O? does O exist on its own as "oxygen"? or does oxygen need to be married to another oxygen to exist??

Oxygen needs to be mated up to another oxygen atom if there is nothing else to mate to. They will take what they can get but refuse to be alone. They're just needy like that. One oxygen is perfectly happy hanging out on its own with a couple hydrogens. Makes for a pretty sexy water threesome.

Edit to clarify that I am in no way a chemist and could be spreading some very inaccurate info here. Don't think so, but could be. shrug

in the case of oxygen being frozen to the point of a BEC it would appear to be on gigantic oxygen atom. like if you had a liter of oxygen and it was so cold that it exhibited a BEC (bose einstein condensate) the quantum vibrations would cease to squiggle and your mind would only see one large molecule....
