Plants absorb nitrogen in a form known as
FIXED NITROGEN, but not as unreactive N2.

Due to high temperature, triple bond
in nitrogen gas molecules can be
broken down and then oxidize to form
nitrogen oxides.
N2 (g) + O2(g) 2NO (g)
nitric oxide
2NO (g) + O2(g) 2NO2 (g)
nitrogen dioxide
The oxides are largely rained out of
the atmosphere as acid rain.
