In nature, nitrogen is reduced by nitrogenase enzymes, which contain large metalloproteins and promote a sequence of proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions to accomplish the reduction.

Nitrogen is a fundamental building block of ... Using the principle of electron flow conservation can better predict the outcomes of numerous chemical reactions that happen in waste water between ...

This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N 2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By harnessing electron flow ...

H has 1 outer electron. O has 6 outer electrons. The H circles must each overlap the O circle. Nitrogen molecules consist of two nitrogen atoms joined together. Nitrogen atoms can form three ...
