Nitrogen's atomic number is 7, atomic weight is 14, and is a colorless non metal. It's an inert gas because it doesn't undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions. This can be seen through the atmospheres. Nitrogen is a vital element in the Earth's atmosphere, making up 78% of the it. However, other planets like Mars, make up much less (3%). Nitrogen is an excellent element due to its abundance and cheap costs. Nitrogen is used for manufacturing fertilizers, plastics, dyes and explosives. Liquid nitrogen can be used as a refrigerant for storing medical research and reproductive technology.
Findings in my kitchen: heh, I'm on that student budget, but I try to still eat healthy! In the fridge, there's greens (salad, celery, cucumber, kale) apples, bread, eggs, condiments, and chicken. In the freezer is more colors! (vegetables) and frozen fish. Cupboards are bland with just spices and pasta. Overall, I think the colors could be more varying, but not bad!! I always like to have at least 2 bright ingredients in my meals.
I enjoyed all the articles from last week's lesson! Food is an important part in our every day lives, and knowledge is power. Some people try to disregard the facts about some of our foods, but if we're putting toxic chemicals into our body every day, we're going to see the negative outcomes. Food is definitely medicine. Just as much as it can be harmful to you, eating the proper foods can heal you. I believe that going a more natural route is a million times better than eating junk and trying to "fix" yourself after.
