nitrogen
英 [ˈnaɪ.trə.dʒən]
美 [ˈnaɪ.trə.dʒən]
1. 1787年由拉瓦锡和其他法国科学家提出,氮的英文名称nitrogen,是"硝石组成者“的意思。中国清末化学家启蒙者徐寿在第一次把氮译成中文时曾写成“淡气”,意思是说,它“冲淡”了空气中的氧气。元素名来源于希腊文,原意是“硝石”。
nitrogen 氮气nitr-,硝,-gen,产生。因研究硝石化学性质时认识这种气体而得名。
- nitrogen (n.)
- 1794, from French nitrogène, coined 1790 by French chemist Jean Antoine Chaptal (1756-1832), from comb. form of Greek nitron "sodium carbonate" (see nitro-) + French gène "producing," from Greek -gen "giving birth to" (see -gen). The gas was identified in part by analysis of nitre. Earlier name (1772) was mephitic air, and Lavoisier called it azote (see azo-).
