Hello everyone, I have a small question regarding the chemical properties of the element nitrogen here. I'm wondering if anyone can help me out.
Good old nitrogen composed of 80% of our planet's atmosphere, is vital for plants and basically all life on Earth, and that its liquid form is very cold and can give you frost bites----extreme ones.
So...what about pure nitrogen in solid form? Does such a thing as "Solid Nitrogen" exist? If so, where can I learn about its properties (i.e. sites)? If not, what would your educated theories on it be?
Thanks all!

That's Carbon dioxide. As for solid N2, this is from Wiki.Gespenst Alteisen wrote:isnt solid nitrogen called 'Dry ice"?....or am i talking about something else (perhaps another element)
At atmospheric pressure molecular nitrogen condenses (liquifies) at 77 K (−195.8 °C) and freezes at 63 K (−210.0 °C) into the beta hexagonal close-packed crystal allotropic form. Below 35.4 K (−237.6 °C) nitrogen assumes the alpha cubic crystal allotropic form. Liquid nitrogen, a fluid resembling water, but with 80.8% of the density, is a common cryogen.
And as for looking for sites, try Google or Yahoo search.
Hope that's helpful.
