16. Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a pretty important part of our daily lives often overlooked. We often think of it as that thing used to make things blow up. Nitro is used for such things but it’s also used for a lot of other stuff too. We use it for creating ammonia, a critical thing we use in things like fertilizer. Nitro is often used to help with cooling too.
It’s also used to make dyes as well as nylon, the latter of which can be useful in clothing. We even use it in liquid form with multiple different medications. Some of which help with cancer, heart conditions, and much more. Our environment is made up of a lot of Nitro too. In fact, we breathe in exactly 78.8% Nitrogen with every breath we take. Thus, we need it around.
