A colorless nonmetallic element, tasteless and odorless,
comprising four fifths of the atmosphere by volume. It is
chemically very inert in the free state, and as such is

compounds, as ammonia, nitric acid, the cyanides, etc, and is
a constituent of all organized living tissues, animal or
vegetable. Symbol N. Atomic weight 14. It was formerly
regarded as a permanent noncondensible gas, but was liquefied
in 1877 by Cailletet of Paris, and Pictet of Geneva. NitrogenizeNitrogenize Ni"tro*gen*ize, v. t. [imp. & p. p.

(Chem.)
A liquid appearing like a heavy oil, colorless or yellowish,
and consisting of a mixture of several glycerin salts of

medicine as a neurotic under the name of glonion. [Written
also nitroglycerine.]

produced by mixing nitroglycerin with different
substances; as, dynamite, or giant powder,
nitroglycerin mixed with siliceous earth;
lithofracteur, nitroglycerin with gunpowder, or with
sawdust and nitrate of sodium or barium; Colonia
