Nitrogen fixation means:

  1. manufacture of nitrogen

  2. liquefication of nitrogen

  3. conversion of nitrogen into nitric acid

  4. conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into useful compounds

  5. mixing of nitrogen with other elements
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen(N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3) and useful compounds. Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular dinitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds.

So the answer is D.
