Nitrogen, the most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere, making up approximately 78% of the air we breathe, is fundamentally what is nitrogen associated with across a vast spectrum, from essential biological processes to critical industrial applications. It is a versatile element whose roles range from providing inert atmospheres to acting as a building block for life's most complex molecules.

Elemental sodium is a highly reactive alkali metal that can ignite spontaneously when exposed to moist air, with a flashpoint of 473°C (883°F). The best way to store sodium is by isolating it from oxygen and water using a protective medium, such as a non-reactive hydrocarbon liquid or an inert gas.
