Periodic Table of Videos- Nitrogen

Nitrogen atoms form the strongest bond between same element atoms on the periodic table. This is utilized in bombs where separate Nitrogen atoms come together creating an explosion. Another use for nitrogen is for correcting eyes. The patient is put under amnesia while the doctor removes their eye lens. Using liquid nitrogen the doctor freezes the lens then shaves it into the right shape. He unfreezes the lens and put it back into the patient's eye.
