Solution

Nitrogen is the most abundant gas present in the air.

Nitrogen is present in 78% of the air.

Nitrogen is present most abundantly but it does not react with any other gas as the triple bond present between the two atoms of nitrogen makes it almost inert.

Nitrogen is extracted from the air by the technique called fractional distillation for making different compounds such as fertilizers.

For example, Ammonia(NH3), urea(NH2CONH2)
